Is that genuine? Can't believe that.

You mean the inconsistency or my opinion?
Also most recent penalty for playing ball on the ground despite the fact that he just picked it up to drive, perfectly legitimate.

Ref should be cited for that urine poor decision. Refusing to use the TMO is ludicrous.

Take nothing away from the Baby Blacks, but do us a favour and take that blydi ref off to soccerland

This is becoming laughable now, suppose you cant have little wales beating the mighty All Blacks

Can we stop blaming the ref (again)!

also this is not just this game but does the law about releasing the player before jackaling still count because it is not bloody reffed.

we're not blaming the ref sugar, we're actually questioning his decisions which even the commentary team are baffled by. There is a difference.

The Baby Blacks have been better, but the ref has ruined the spectacle. Completely ruined any chance of a competition in this semi final.

Ref having a nightmare at the set piece - funnily enough where Wales had a massive advantage. Fed up of poor refs from the SH.

Just getting reffed out of this. IRB want NZ in the final again.

They trawl the south seas like a giant fishing net raping islands of their resources.

Some people should learn to not mix booze and posting. Sayonara.

Its all turning into a mess this half... Players are doing very well to remain composed and not react to these bizarre decisions.

It's lovely to watch the AB's starting young at and this level playing the ball on the deck while off their feet, Mccaw seems to have lent them his cload of invisability too

what surely that should go to tmo????

fix!

RDS - agree with you the BB's have been very good, taken all their chances well (think they've just scored another too) but that doesn't take from the fact that inconsistencies in the refereeing has made this game very difficult to compete in. Refusing to award a legitimate try is just the icing on a very horrible cake.

This game is horrible to watch, NZ can do no wrong apparently.

No one is disputing New Zealand are a better team today, but jesus the referee is giving Wales no chance at all. It's hard enough to play them anyway but when the ref won't allow you to compete and play, or use any advantages you have, there is not much point in trying.

Im sorry but this ref is only officiating one side at the moment. I think the welsh mgmt would be in the rights to make a complaint about this ref and I dont ever say that.

No doubt, this AB team is superb and they deserve their win but the game fell apart this half and that was not due to either teams performance and purely by the way the game has not been consistently adjudicated.

The ref doesnt believe in TMOs

I think if you read back there are plenty who are. It just ends up looking like poor losers to be honest. I know all fans complain a bit, but let's just say some do it a lot more than others.

Thort there were hands underneath that ball then

Ref reluctant to go to the TMO for some reason

oh FFS that was held up you could see in the replay?????

just a note AB are the better side but the ref is shoite

ref is having a nightmare but just a bit of balance the last scrum on the NZ line the JABs had the nudge & the number 8 made a great break off the advantage.

no sugar I don't, we're annoyed at the refereeing but I can't see anywhere where we state we've been better then the BB's? You're just reading what you want to I'm afraid.

Morgan off, WHY???

Frustrating to say the least. I'm not a fan of ref bashing, makes us look sore losers etc... but this one... geeesss

Wales get a clean lineout, but cant play it because the ref hasn't set his watch.

They redo the lineout and Wales lose it.

Abysmal

Actually I don't believe ABs are better. Every time Wales get a head of steam up the ref gives something unseen against them and they lose field position.

Sugarnspikes

It's easy to say that old chestnut isn't it. Makes you feel clever to do that old belittle the welsh thing eh? Wales are equal to this Baby blacks team and the ref is making the difference.

what why is morgan off, 24 points behind we need to attack not kick, and davies can tackle!!!!

I know Maes, I know. Just baffles me how people just read what they want to, makes them look a bit daft I guess


Bah another lost lineout. Does anyone else find it rather depressing that we are making the same mistakes as the senior side? Poor kicking and lineouts costing us again. most annoying.

So as an English fan Cyril, would you be happy if that happened to your team? The truck and trailer decision is a dreadful call. Instead of trying to bait people, try offering a worthwhile opinion.

I never said anything about Wales being better. It's clear that isn't the case. Maybe if there hadn't been so much complaining by some on here recently it would hold more water. But, it's after every, single game now.

Sick of the Kiwis naming every single player as coming from the Valleys whether they are from Breeecon or Carmarthenshire...

Oh for the days of Bill McClaren

Don't think this poster knows how to Rev.

It's a rugby forum. people are going to disagree with the ref.

Sugar - maybe that's because refereeing standards, everywhere, are pretty poor? Just a thought.

I disagree the better side are winning. the ref is not good & it is very frustrating if you are losing end of.

Well do something about it... It is his constant Modus Operandi and you have house rules against Trolling.

I wouldn't disagree that there is sometimes some poor refereeing, but to say that it makes more than a 20-point swing is a bit rich.

The ref is now giving a shed load of penalties to Wales to even up the stats so no one can accuse him of bias at the end of the game.

So you just come on here to check if we're still bitchin'?

Don't have to, do you?

sorry RD, just getting frustrated and i know i shouldnt bite, but i was also being factual.

so i shall put a more positive slant on that

wales will be at least 4th, which is much better than last year!

Playing the ball off your feet is ok, as long as you are playing in black apparently.
