Take No Notice Of Game

[Roland]

Nigh everyone was miffed with the Ref yesterday. No excuses, he and Italy brought in, with the refs permission, blatant cheating.

I believe the quote regards the BBC suing the Rugby Union (and the RBS)for their' money back for destroying and stopping a rugby game SAYS IT ALL.

 

Also now! There WILL BE great controversies when all others teams stand in front of the opposing teams players in the line thus stopping the player from passing to a team mate. Also again standing blatantly in an off side position in scrums.

Plus the ruling like trying to let Italy kick off again AFTER boot the ball out of play, THEN try after being told it was put out by a Italian THEN tried to give a scrum. Need one go on?

Yes the Ref was a disgrace and no other word for it, a blatantly bias cheat!

 

Now no sour grapes here I can assure you. Was a learning curve which had to be over come, which the English did superbly in the second half.

Haven't read any reports yet --- just up lol, but will do now.

Just read up on it and why it was allowed etc.

No wonder Jones, and many more managers are not happy ... But the more powerful once will be able to take it their stride and utilise it. The England head coach was left seething by Italy’s tactic of not committing to the ruck, meaning they could flour the offside rule and leaving defenders free to run around the breakdown without fear of being penalised. … a concerted attempt to disrupt English possession by refusing to commit to the breakdown. It was a tactic that meant the ruck, or supposed ruck, was never formed, and thus no offside line being formed.

 

Yet now beware, because England- without doubt have weight and arguably the best forwards to run straight through the centre, which of course they will. Likewise the All Blacks and Australia. The old Welsh side of 2013 would have hammered any side trying that. Just took the English half a game to get over it ... However it will bring into effect many other scenarios which will change the face of Rugby as we now know it.
