Rugby Referees

[UKSBD]

Is anyone watching Scotland v France in the rugby?

Brilliant watching how the referee refs it and the way he talks to the players throughout the game.

The refs mess around too much now

They should just award a penalty to keep the game flowing
The captains are also too scared to address anything with the ref as they might get a yellow card for abusing them

The ref is there to do a job and it is not to teach the best players in the world how to play the game

We havevVAR and Tuialangi was carded for a high tackle when it was an acceptable tackle
The molestation of Wyn Jones was ignored

Yes, but there would be 30+ penalties a game if the ref wasn't talking and just gave penalties.

If he they just gave a penalty instead of warning players when they are encroaching or fishing for a loose ball it would ne non stop whistle.

The molestation of Wyn Jones was ignored

Not on social media it wasn't.
Some of them wanted him hung drawn and quartered for what he did.

Are you serious, He lead with his shoulder making NO attempt to wrap his arms around the target. That he contacted the head can be excused as George North was on his way down. Acceptable - sheesh. The bollock grab was not seen until later in the game and has been sited. That should be ignored as he barely felt it - poor grab and needs lessons from Vinnie Jones on how to be effective.

The tackle was mitigated as North bent his knees and doubled over as Tulangi approached on the attack before contact it should not have had s red card

The refs can't spend all afternoon resetting the scum

 

[Clodbuster]

That is beside the point, the tackle was not a tackle due to the manner in which it was completed. Even if North had not already been tackled and was upright it would have been illegal. A tackler HAS to make an attempt to wrap his arms around as the tackle is completed.
