[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 916306, member: 45598"] I can't comment on this match because I haven't watched it but Raynal is probably my favourite ref, and if not him it's Gauzere. I think he's the most consistent and applies the laws at the breakdown effectively without bias to the attacking or defending team. He generally allows the tmo come to him and is hesitant to go back 10+ phases unless the game requires it. If he had an off day it's fair to criticise but going through his career and cherry picking games to make him seem incompetent as some are doing in here is a disservice to a world class official. The examples of non contentious games being offered shows what a good ref he is imo. He also awarded a try where Ben Smith was in touch that day because it wasn't clear and obvious from the camera angles. He thought the tries were scored on the pitch but couldn't be sure and asked if there's any reason not to award them, that's objectively good refereeing. [/QUOTE]
