Has someone been oiling down this ball pre-match?

I can see that he didn't want to end the match with a penalty try but had France lost that would have been very unfair

Love the fact the Welsh are already bitching about the HIA... http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live/rugby-union/38321007 quote:Dr Malcolm Harvey: The ramifications of that suspect French HIA may be quite far reaching... made the end of the game an absolute farce. quote:Wales captain Alun Wyn Jones on BBC One: When Barnes simply asked what is the problem... When he is told HIA he has no choice... Have the French borrowed the Italian back room staff?

The HIA was dodgy because the player was complaining about a sore back before he was taken off. The big issue is the knock on effects this could have if the French were full of poo poo. Don't want another blood gate fiasco surrounding head injuries.

Whatever France attribute the HIA to must have happened long before the 80th minute. They already had their original Prop warmied up and ready to come on. Evil Doctor's exact explanation was "I saw him out of shot, and I saw him not moving".

Exactly. What was Barnes meant to do? Everything there was by the book, and after the 80th minute, the ball was kept alive by constant Welsh infringement. Blame the French for gaming the rules, blame the Welsh for being undisciplined fucks. Don't blame Barnes for following the letter of the law.

The doctor didn't even seem certain what he was there for until he was pressed. The game just got out of control. Barnes refused to award a penalty try like he would be fined for it, he didn't know what his 4th official was on about, the sideline teams didn't seem to know who was off for injury and who was a tactical sub, they didn't seem to know who was a designated front row, every time they reset the scrum a dozen support staff would run onto the field and hold poo poo up for thirty seconds until they were shoo'd away. It was a complete gently caress up of game management.

Is there a reason that ITV never show the view of a penalty/conversion from behind the kicker?

Reminded me of the farce that ensued when as a referee of the round ball game I had to explain how although it was a penalty and a yellow card, when the bloke who won the penalty decided to kick the guy who fouled him. He won a red card too. As referees of any sport we have to apply the laws, however whacky they may be hjp766 fucked around with this message at 19:24 on Mar 18, 2017 |

This is looking like the England of old that doesn't know what to do if a side can front up against their forwards.

Oh my god, the Press Conferences :Guy Noves posted:They told me he was injured so I had to do my responsibilities. I don’t really know how he is right now. We’ll do a medical check up obviously. If the injury is not life-threatening we want to celebrate. Lions Manager Rob Howley posted:What happened in the last moments of that game, shouldn’t ever happen again.Warming up prior to him going back on. One of the coaches had a word with their doctor and within a minute of that their tighthead went off. The integrity of the game has been brought into disrepute.

Still haven't seen an old fashioned ruck today, but also haven't seen anyone doing an Italy Still feel sorry for Barnes. If a Doc says its an hia and he doesn't let him off and they find any injury after the game...

The Welsh infringements on the line didn't really meet the penalty try threshold either, as there's no way to definitely rule that the French would have scored a try had there not been the Welsh offender there (as is the nature of tryline defending). edogawa rando fucked around with this message at 19:30 on Mar 18, 2017 |

Could argue that at the umpteenth one the welsh knew to do it that early and so it was deliberate prevention as Barnes was saying its too early hjp766 fucked around with this message at 19:36 on Mar 18, 2017 |

One of the reasons we have HIAs now is so injured players don't stay on the field just because they tell the referee they're OK to continue. Wales should understand this all too well following the George North saga.

hjp766 posted:Could argue that at the umpteenth one the welsh knew to do it that early and so it was deliberate prevention Sure, but it's one person being penalised, not a group. You remove that offender from the equation, you've still got an X number of Welsh defenders in the breakdown to potentially legally prevent the try from being scored.

The repeated infringement at the scrum is grounds for a penalty try however as it can be argued that the French could score a try directly from a scrum going forward. After, I think, the 4th penalty there, it really shouldn't have been a question.

On another note, as I normally see league nowadays, what the gently caress has happened to put ins. If your going to feed the ball why bother with a scrum?

That's a repeated complaint and no one knows why it's constantly ignored. Apparently World Rugby are going ot look at it this year but gently caress knows when.

Yeah I'm not sure how much any Wales fan can complain giving that we continually gave away penalties at the end (Though even as Brian Moore noted, there was the blatant standing up in the scrum by a French player that went unnoticed). Though, that stuff with the doctor was certainly very creative. The player clearly mentions his back, and then moments later they start talking about a head injury. Even the doctor didn't look to sure.

If Ireland score any points now, they'd have probably secured a win.
