Steve Walsh handed 6N finale again

First topic message reminder :

On form, the six nations will be a call between unbeaten France and Ireland. The "grand final" will be the last match played and similarly to last years climax between England and Wales, Steve Walsh has been handed the honours.

Surely this is yet a further underlining of the man's status as possibly the finest referee in the world and a continuation of the upward trend in his professional career after his well documented personal issues.

Congratulations Mr Walsh! A truly inspiring tale of personal strength and success - a role model for many no doubt!

The majority here have told you that in their opinion Walsh is poor.  Walsh is the only one worried about his hair.  He is egocentric and plays for the camera. Sine the retirement of O'Brien NZ have had no world class refs.

Cheers rainbow thats a perfect example of what i was trying to explain to Notch:

A. Steve Walsh is poor. Why?
B. because he is egocentric and plays for the camera.
C. Are these findings made taking a Rugby perspective into account? No, absolutely not.
D. Therefore it becomes a logical conclusion that Paddy O'Brien was a World Class referee, Why?
E. Because he's bald.

Makes perfect sense ...to you

You can't say a guy is a bad referee because you don't like him.

You can say you don't like him because you don't like him.
