Quality result following a bit of wonky refereeing.
Which game are we talking about? I haven’t seen a decent ref in the internationals this weekend.
Still England’s route to the Slam will be eased by the fact that they won’t have that dipstick Wayne Barnes in charge of any of their games.
I’ve never liked his ref’ing style, but awarding a penalty against Wales for a high tackle when the player grabbed the Italian between the shoulder blades is laughable.
As is a 3:1 penalty count against Wales.
I’m not saying that Wales are a ‘clean’ side, but there is no way at all that they committed 3 times more penalty offences than Italy. (I spotted quite a few Italian offences…) He is a complete numpty.
Another very unsatisfying round of games so far – hopefully tomorrow will be better. C’mon Ireland! (Although if the Scots win, will they be up for the Twickenham game?)
