honestly united Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Just heard Miotti is away to France, a couple of months after signing a new contract. Glasgow seemingly not going to bring anyone else in at this point, and will run with Thomson and Jordan with Weir and however's in the academy (is Toonies son still there?). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donathan Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Have any of those off field reviews actually not been upgraded to red yet? Each of Fagerson, Farrell and Vunipola were all upgraded. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were plenty in Super Rugby that remained as a yellow though Which suggests that Test level refs are using it when they're pretty sure it's red and just want someone to check their working While in Super Rugby they're using it for things that they think are probably just yellow but someone else may as well have a quick check just in case But it's a small sample so it might not mean anything 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one in the wales game I didnt even think it was a yellow as the player was already being tackled and fell into his shoulder and he was already fairly low 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ignoramus Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 I know referees are sometimes a touchy subject on this thread, but appointments for the RWC pools are up: SA v Scotland - Angus Gardner Scotland v Tonga - Karl Dickson Scotland v Romania - Wayne Barnes Ireland v Scotland - Nic Berry Jaco Peyper has the opening game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honestly united Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 (edited) No Matt Carley is a huge bonus, as is no Reynal We had Nic Berry for the 2nd France game, I thought he was ok (was he?) Angus Gardner for SA, not sure if that is good or bad Edit to add Gardner did the Italy game is 6Nations so will be re-watching that also Edited August 22, 2023 by honestly united 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Karl Dickson should be nowhere near the RWC refereeing panel. I’d be tempted to prevent him attending any of the games as a spectator as well tbqhwy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salvo Montalbano Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 I quite like Nic Berry. Not a great ref but not one to be easy swayed by just giving the big team the benefit of the doubt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaggyness Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 A much stronger team than I expected. Pleased to see White back but why risk him. Wouldn't have Finn, Duhan or Jones anywhere near the starting xv on Saturday 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have thought this would have been one to play your "Starting against Romania" team. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
