Will there be a welcome in the hillsides?

After, what was, lets say a controversial decision, do you think it will be a while before mr Rolland will be supervising games in Wales?

I for one hope so

I've forgiven him.

I don't think as a nation we can! We now know how new zealanders fealt with Barnes (albeit they were completely robbed)

Personally I'm already getting over it, we had our chances to win

I assumed you were talking about Warburton. He put Wales into the difficult position, not Rolland. He was just following the laws.

Is there a referee that everyone respects anymore?! Have to say I thought Steve Walsh was excellent for the Eng v France game. He or Owens deserves the final.

Completely agree about Walsh. It's strange how he now seems like the best around with excellent game control. Who knew? Owens just annoys me, with his grating voice but he's not a bad ref.

It's a surprising one, isn't it? Haha, know what you mean about Owens but I did laugh when he asked "what part of wait don't you understand?! Do you want to play 16 men?!" to the Samoan hooker before a lineout!

Joubert looks the best ref to me.....but Wales will get a huge welcome in the hillsides

Yeah, Owens does come out with some funny stuff. I remember once (I think it was Blues/Ospreys last season) when he had a right go at the front rows saying something like "you're here to scrummage, if you can't do that properly we'll find someone else who will". He's like a school teacher sometimes

It is all South Africa's fault!

Here me out,

If SA had won last week then Joubert wouldnt have been able to ref that game, so we would have had Joubert reffereeing this morning instead,

Joubert is currently the best ref in the world and is now gaurenteed a final bar a disaster tommorow to match todays.
