@FabrizioRomano So the man who didn’t want to move out of London and turned down other potential moves whilst a Chelsea player moves abroad as soon as he is a free agent!

[John Dyckhoff @jcad61]

How is Andrew Porter an international prop? Good around the pitch but an absolute liability in the scrum as he is never square

[John Dyckhoff @jcad61]

@lionsofficial It’s to be hoped he’s not reffing a test match. Too scared to make a decision on scrums and completely inconsistent.

[John Dyckhoff @jcad61]

@riversorare @jaredwright17 It is definitely forward, for it to have gone back it would have travelled in the direction of the dead ball line. Just because he is running back towards his own try line does not mean that the directions are reversed.

[John Dyckhoff @jcad61]

@kay_mothudi @rugby_ap Except it’s hard to scrum when the opposition prop has gone missing, straight and square is supposed to be the referee mantra, not so for any of the last few scrums that went SA way

[John Dyckhoff @jcad61]

@andNickMullins Scrum penalty should have gone England’s way, the angle of 18 Green was ridiculous!

[John Dyckhoff @jcad61]

@cardwell_samuel @benjaminryan Fiji had the opportunities but didn’t take the points, even had an opportunity with the last play but knocked it on. I don’t believe Carley was biased or had as bad a game as some seem to think but poor game management and individual errors is what ultimately cost Fiji.

[John Dyckhoff @jcad61]

@MarcC883103 @benjaminryan Knee grounded short of the line so tackle complete, at that point he can place the ball but not use knee and feet to propel forward, hence double movement. Correct decision so back to penalty advantage. Accurate refereeing

[John Dyckhoff @jcad61]

@FjMistor @benjaminryan Clearly you don’t follow rugby!

[John Dyckhoff @jcad61]

@KellyOrner Completely different circumstances 2 penalties a warning and the next one was sent to the bin. Fiji drag down a rolling maul 5m from the line, could easily have been a penalty try as well as yellow but just a yellow.

[John Dyckhoff @jcad61]

@Zak96_inverted_ @CianTracey1 The ref can still award a straight red which means no replacement, the upgraded yellow results in a replacement after 20 mins

[John Dyckhoff @jcad61]

@tlyons3 @willcarling He is trying to avoid the collision and has attempted to minimise his profile. Even following the protocol there is plenty of mitigation and the most this should have been is yellow. Ryan on Ludlum now that was a red and not even called!

[John Dyckhoff @jcad61]

@edujones14 @nessandandy 2/2 Even following the protocol this should have been reduced to a yellow.
James Ryan on Ludlow, now there is a red. Driving into a maul, clear shoulder on head with force.
Hansen on Watson, at least a penalty, possibly yellow but certainly not try to Ireland

[John Dyckhoff @jcad61]

@edujones14 @nessandandy Suggest you do the same! There are several mitigating factors.
1. Keenan’s height
2. The force was from Keenan not FS
3. FS turns sideways in an attempt to avoid collision, Keenan does nothing to avoid the collision
4. The collision is with the elbow not the shoulder as stated

[John Dyckhoff @jcad61]

@iainrae68 @niallbrowne1 @Nigelrefowens @Murray_Kinsella The actions of the ball boy in replacing the ball are irrelevant as the hooker cant take a quick throw as another player has already touched the ball

[John Dyckhoff @jcad61]

@StanSportRugby Should have been disallowed and at least a yellow for the clear out on Jordie

[John Dyckhoff @jcad61]

@bartinoheat Shame the exact same offence wasn’t spotted in the build up to the Rebel’s first try

[John Dyckhoff @jcad61]

@brendontrass I saw it and couldn’t believe the TMO didn’t call it!

[John Dyckhoff @jcad61]

@SameOldBrookesy @CharlieFelix Agreed, also allowing Ardie through on JVP when he hadn’t lifted the ball.

[John Dyckhoff @jcad61]

@bullyinthealley Awful for both sides and agree England not clinical enough (until the last 10) but hard for either side to establish momentum with that type of refereeing
