Jeff Venom Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 That seemed like the logical conclusion to a world cup with inconsistent TMO and refereeing. I watched with some Saffers so was pleased to experience that with them, but was a bit of a weird game. Maybe just an anticlimax after those quarter-finals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aDONisSheep Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 I think Barnes is the best ref in the world. I think the problem lies with the inflexibility of the laws (I might have mentioned this before) and interference by the TMO. Let the game flow more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The France try form their own 22 that goes through a few sets of hands is the only other real contender. But if you were going to give it to a great team effort as opposed to an individual moment of brilliance then Duhan's second try against England would have to be in consideration 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They weren't lower ranked before the world cup. Seven weeks ago Fiji and Argentina were ranked above them and now they're not, so their ranking has shot up by 5.5 Scotland have only dropped by just over half a point (0.58) which basically means that our two games against good sides were seen as being slightly more competitively balanced than our two games against bad sides but basically the results don't change anybody's view of how good or bad this Scotland side is 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably easy enough to discount Scotland players since its based on their performances on Lions tours and he never fucking picked any to go on tour in the first place.

There are few things that will make me cheer a South African victory but if turning that bunch over might just do it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
