Wales v All Blacks
-
Holly was the best ref of the weekend by a country mile
Both were definite YCs
I’d have her reffing the RWC final if it was being played next weekend
Did you watch the other two matches?
Carly and Pearce - both English - couldn’t have been more different
You swap them and those matches would have been totally different
The inconsistency was glaring
I will say despite Holland’s supremacy at the lineout the ABs closed that line far too many times without being punished by Holly
My only black mark for the officiating team
-
Wales were never going to beat NZ but with 14 men for 20 mins I thought we did really well
I’ll throw it out here now
We won’t get the wooden spoon this 6N
Great tries fair play
I’ve definitely changed my opinion of Edwards
He’s getting better by the game
Put Jac Morgan and Wainwright in that back row and we're winning far more clean, quick ball
And we're slowly building a back line who can take advantage of that

Well you've found your back 3
Agreed and the one I've been suggesting for the last two years.
God knows whether we will see it again though.

It will be 60-0 to the ABs
Thank fuck that aged like the most aged milk ever

I think Luke Pearce is the best ref around at the moment, then Angus Gardner, then Hollie Davidson.

Well if he is - which I don't think is the case - then he needs to be the benchmark for decisions which every other ref works from
He waved things off yesterday which were YC and even RC worthy in other matches
It was a joke

If Razor goes away from that then he's dumber than we think
Centres looked good despite all the whinging on here. No better or worse than what's been picked this year
DMac with Roigard and you have a totally different back line proposition which will score tries for fun against everyone
Not just Wales
Well Roigard - DMac; CC-WJ-Love 15 is such an upgrade. Why can't they see it?
-
@MiketheSnow Haven't seen it.
I like the way he lets the game flow, without it becoming chaotic. He'll talk rather than whistle.
I don't like the refs who keep slowing the action down. Fans pay to watch Rugby not the official.

how old is Devlin? I remember him visiting our school to talk about being an alcoholic and that wasn't exactly a few years ago. (I may be a spring chicken, but a highly seasoned one).

He'd be 60 at least by now I would have thought.

My missus went to the match and said it's the best atmosphere and spectacle she can remember in decades
They need to work on the smoke
That was bullshit
Trying to recreate 1905?

He seemed oldish when he visited our school in the 80s!

@nostrildamus 60-61 according to Wikipedia. He was born in 1964.

I must have the wrong guy, he's practically an embryo!*

That's what my valley looked like when I was growing up

DMac is our No.1 . We've known that for a long time esp. since Ireland 2024. That shit is frustrating.
We saw enough of Love against Wales to suggest he needs to be there for the long term. The long returns alone had me convinced. Jordan to 14, Clarke on the other wing. The air squad is born. -

I love that stadium, none better. Close to the pitch.
The boyos always make sure it's a great occasion. -
And the Welsh crowd know their Rugby and love their team. Great to hear them in (near) full voice yesterday.
