Hi all. I made this account after seeing a lot of discussion about rugby refereeing decisions in recent times. I hope to provide anyone with some extra context as to why referees would make the decision. I hope to eventually learn how to post clips on this but I am new so time 1/

@DonnybrookHum Who is this?

[Couch Referee @CouchReferee]

Where did they say this ? Was this in Clayton post match ? Anyone have link to the quote

[Overthehillprop @Overthehillprop]

So Munster have the footage and claim it shows the foul play incident on Coombes.
First off that's not a good look for the officiating team and the TMO in particular.
Not great for whichever Leinster player is involved either.

@Caolan_Scully From looking at the match I think TOB was cramp as he was grabbing gels and stretching during down times

[Couch Referee @CouchReferee]

@Overthehillprop Edwin hasn’t play this season tho ? I agree with the rest

[Couch Referee @CouchReferee]

@Caolan_Scully Edwin hasnt played this year ?

[Couch Referee @CouchReferee]

Harry Byrne still out with Concussion is a worrying.

[Leinster Rugby @leinsterrugby]

🆕 Jordan Larmour will be further assessed as he reintegrates into training.

Relax man

[Couch Referee @CouchReferee]

Officiating team have gotten those two incidents wrong.

Shayne Bolton clipped by Mackenzie Duncan. No TMO intervention, play on.

Josh Murphy clipped Glasgow player and they look at it 12 times and conclude with Penalty and YC
