Game's been going for 5 minutes 'every single box kick right in the middle of the pitch'. Maybe pass it sometimes.

A contest: which is worse, the ref or the commentary team?

10 minutes in

Passes 1
Kicks 3

Ref’s defo decided the game’s gonna be all about him.
Can we turn his mic off?

and Slade gets absolutely melted. That needed to go past him to Steward and Muir.

Surely they've got the wrong English lock.

Head contact is surely Ewels

The definition of a hospital pass (from Atkinson?).

That's seriously poor.

When they said foul play England 5 I did have to double check that Ewels was wearing 4. Thought he was on for the hattrick for a second there.

He’s always the same. Absolutely horrendous ref.

Yeah wasn't a good option from the youngster. You'd have thought a centre as experienced and skillful as Slade might have done something rather than step into the contact mind.

Coles goes backwards, so there's enough mitigation if they want it.
I hate that rugby decided that a severe sanction wasn't severe enough, so they'll try a lesser.

ETA: I still fucking hate the "someone else has posted, so you can't" thing on this here

This is a hard enough watch as is. But the ref is just so poor.

That’s not a penalty and then we get the pleasure of listening to Gardner told a load of fucking shit.

SHUT
THE
FUCK
UP

Wew lad Ford!

*"&£ me Gardner

There’s just no carrying threat , and we’re not capable of anything else. Just poor selection

George remembers the RWC

Wait, what? 3 random penalties and we get a yellow? Absolutely insane. How are we meant to have a game of rugby here?

What did he bin Seb Atkinson for?

Also that drop goal from Ford was pure class.

But... He wasn't offside sir

Genuinely some of the worst refereeing I’ve seen. 2 offsides, a high tackle that got a yellow and a breakdown penalty that wasn’t a pen. None in the redzone.

He’s an absolute disgrace this guy and always has been. This is sort of shit is why Rugby can’t break the mainstream and become financially viable.

Going offside, a couple of minutes after a team warning for constantly going offside.
