| 122. Author: Luxembourg Par Date: Thu 20th Mar 2025. 12:57 I see he is being cited for the head but - fat load of good that does us, it’s his club that will be punished by his eventual ban. I hope the Ref and TMO are cited too. English ref obviously bottled it, referring to TMO, and they definitely bottled sending off a Frenchman in Paris, possibly giving England the title - can you imagine the abuse they would have got? French conspiracy accusations etc Begs the question as to why the authorities would put a ref in that position. It was clear for some time that a Scotland win would likely result in an England title - why would they put an Englishman there?  Reply |

Author: Dave_1885 Date: Thu 20th Mar 2025. 14:33 Luxembourg Par, Thu 20 Mar 12:57 I don’t you can claim bias on rugby refs in terms of their own country, more so incompetence that favours the bigger nations. Surely as an English ref if he was bias he would’ve sent him off so Scotland had more chance of winning? The biggest ref blunder of Scotlands tournament was the decision to move Russells kick. Catching up on Stick To Rugby last night and they said these are the exact things TMOs are meant to be in place for. Telling the ref he has got something wrong that could effect the outcome of the game. But then again that wouldn’t be helpful for the bug team. Reply |

Author: Luxembourg Par Date: Thu 20th Mar 2025. 17:10 Dave_1885, Thu 20 Mar 14:33 I wasn’t claiming bias, exactly the opposite - I said that he bottled the decision, possibly aware that we would be accused of bias if he favoured us, benefitting England. I was also questioning the judgement of the decision to allocate an English ref to this fixture - any contentious decision for us would be met with accusations of bias by the frogs. Reply |
| 125. Author: Dave_1885 Date: Thu 20th Mar 2025. 17:27 Ok, fair enough. Ive never thought of that towards rugby refs, but theres certainly some ineptitude within the ranks. Will always remember the disgrace at the World Cup v the Aussies where the ref gave the last min pen that should never have been. We always seems to be on the wrong end of decisions in big games too.

| 126. Author: wee eck Date: Fri 21st Mar 2025. 15:38 I see Mauvaka has been handed a three-match ban after being cited for head-butting Ben White. The standard punishment was a six-match ban but it was halved because he admitted foul play, showed remorse and had a previous clean record. That`s fine but it`s little consolation to Scotland.
