Didn’t know Richard Gear was a Canada Rugby Fan @BBCSport

[James Jones Ref @JamesJRef]

What an outstanding decision by the match officials!!!

There is NO place for this in sport.

Many will say it is easier with a video referee / TMO. Yes - I fully agree.

It is VERY difficult to make such calls without TJ’s/ ARs and technology.

The officials were spot on and totally correct in law.

You cannot jump to avoid a tackle or jump into a tackle. This was clarified by World Rugby.

In the act of scoring you can dive and we have seen some wonderful tries from this.

A pleasure once again to chat to @martinkelner on @talkSPORT previewing the today’s 2 huge games in the @SixNationsRugby

As always Diolch Martin.

Let’s hope for at least a good attacking Welsh performance!

[James Jones Ref @JamesJRef]

What a depressing first half!
Innovation in attack from Italy…. Their secret weapon @ITVRugby is @RichardHodges12 in the coaching staff! Another well blessed coach lost to Welsh Rugby full of knowledge! @rossharries1
