[QUOTE="ncurd, post: 845533, member: 72205"] The difference is Walsh at his very worst (and I'll say just before his retirement he was a fine ref) would be seeing things that weren't happening. I don't like to moan about past games (especially game we didn't serverve to win regardless) but in the 2013 Wales game I'll never get over the image of Walsh accusing Youngs of moving from his mark. Youngs being completely bemused (I mean genuinely other than typical front row bemusement) trying his damnest by setting up on the mark before crouch and then being told off by Walsh for being cheeky. Walsh had got it so far into his head that England cheat at scrums that it was clear he was going to penalise England regardless of what was happening. I think most refs go into a game with some level of bias of what they are looking for from certain team at least with Barnes it's usually the right call (he had a really poor game Saturday). [/QUOTE]
