If there is any consistency in refereeing that Fijian yellow will be upgraded to a red.
Nah. A perfect example of a yellow being upheld.
Yep agreed, looked correct to me. In fact I think they've been good and consistent around head collisions in every game since the ridiculous decision on Curry. Take that 1 decision away and I'm happy with the officials so far, it's just frustrating that the 1 huge error cost us a key player for pretty much the entire group stage.
On the game I think the decision to start with Smith at 15 looked a good one, he was excellent when he was first on and it put us into the right mindset.
Mitchell has been excellent, Lawes has been world class (again), Itoje is putting in his best performance for England for about 2 years and Farrell has been much better in not just kicking possession away in 2nd or 3rd phase. If we'd played like this for the last year we'd have gone inot the world cup thinking we had a real chance of making the final again.
