Black belt 🥋🥋🥋🥋

[Shane Mansfield @MMAShane]

@M1D3V Well yes and no. Spoilt it for all his colleagues now as they get no screen time. Protocol changed. And he probably will get fired and sent home. Potentially affecting other colleagues of his. Punched himself in the arm there eh…

[Shane Mansfield @MMAShane]

Couldn’t agreed more. @Luke_W_Pearce been to my previous society @BristolMatch a few times so bumped shoulders. I was messaging friends last night saying he is some referee. I’m in Scotland now & part of SRU DNA is understanding what the game is asking of you - Luke is a master!

[Tight Five Rugby @TightFive_Rugby]

And also, shoutout @Luke_W_Pearce

Was bloody excellent tonight, massive reason why that game was so gripping and entertaining.

[Shane Mansfield @MMAShane]

@insiderugbymark Not seen much then? 😜

[Shane Mansfield @MMAShane]

8 red cards in total. I don’t watch football anymore (it’s just a zoo) but this just doesn’t surprise me. Players charging at the referee. Coaches screaming abuse. The powers that be encourage this by just letting it be baked into the DNA of the sport. No class at all.

Brazil was issued two red cards in added time, including one for an apparent elbow on Sophia Wilson 😳

@__Liberty4All_ @alfkkifine Well it’s just about making good choices. Not just with your prospective partner just in life. I waited till 43 to marry and my wife is the perfect balance for me. My coach / best mate also picked a legend of a wife.

[Shane Mansfield @MMAShane]

@theRealEnzoMac Even though she was breathing? 😝

[Shane Mansfield @MMAShane]

@EddieHearn @AlexMLowe @jimhamilton4 is gonna love this. I will eat my hat if this is not mentioned on the next rugby pod with @AndyGoode10

[Shane Mansfield @MMAShane]

@TFund35 Nothing to do with Drogba missing a sitter and Essiens air shot clearance before the Barca goal?

[Shane Mansfield @MMAShane]

@AndyGoode10 Do you think he asks players to go out and drop balls and give away silly pens?

[Shane Mansfield @MMAShane]

@ashhj7 @Rugby_Scoop Do you know the protocol in this instance for calling Advantage over for a knock on?

[Shane Mansfield @MMAShane]

@gallagherbren58 I guess the question the referee has to ask is did the non player have a material impact on the Welsh players ability I defend there?

[Shane Mansfield @MMAShane]

@caerau10 Point is valid. As a referee I can totally see me thinking should I stop this. That being said two things can be true at the same time and depends where you want 2come down. Stop the game because of a ball followable. Play and see what happens as no material impact a genius try.

@RobDonalds38035 @arielhelwani @LukeTheNuke180 @OfficialPDC @PhilTaylor What age was Phil when he won his first?

[Shane Mansfield @MMAShane]

@RealEmirHan

[Shane Mansfield @MMAShane]

@Nigelrefowens @QuadeCooper Quade see ur point. Having the referees mic’d up does give u some window? I do think there is a balance though as Nigel points out. It could become a blame game. Ultimately there is so much grey/subjectivity in rugby it’s why we love it. Some days u get things some days u don’t.

@Rugga_Ref @Oldsuliansrfc Maybe brush up on your law knowledge Mr Referee. You can’t just kill the ball at a maul.

[Shane Mansfield @MMAShane]

@TightFive_Rugby I will remember the 2005 Lions more fondly than this series. It would 100% have been 3-0 in NZ or SA.

[Shane Mansfield @MMAShane]

@RefereeSouth The rolling around. The gesticulation by the players. Don’t miss it. In rugby you see 200 impacts a game! And it’s just gotten on with. I can just enjoy the challenge of refereeing the game rather than herding cats!

Looks a yellow to me though on view. So good job!
