[2021 Six Nations] Wales vs England (27/02/21)

Hahahahaha why is he checking this? It's not a try
 
Jesus wept

Can someone please just kick this refs head in,
Take the red card, we'd be better playing with 14 than against 16
 
So the ball goes forward and then hits his body which makes it goes back...
 
Come on, that's a tautology. Of course, he has the authority to do so. That's not the point. The point is whether or not he is using that authority in a) accordance to the rules and b) a fair manner where discretion is permitted.

Teams get together when you tell the captain to have a word. That's the entire bloody point of having a word with your team. I find it unreasonable, borderline ridiculous, from the ref to wait for the captain's to say the last word and then restart without giving them time to spread back to defend. It's basically setting a trap. Sugarcoat it the way you want, that's what it is.
I'll admit I was only 75% paying attention, but my bigger point is that the water carriers being on the field is England's fault not the referees. If the ref told Farrell to talk to the team but only gave them 5 seconds then yeah Farrell should be ******.

Also that's a knock on. Shouldn't have needed the TMO.
