[QUOTE="Big Ewis, post: 542349, member: 57076"] ^ no but dude, one can't look at reality that way - to jump from one extreme to the other and consider absolutely all criticism to be conspiracy theory oriented and to be malicious in nature. I'd have said the same thing about the Joubert would this have been a regular test match. I mean, I don't think that Tuilagi try was a try a few weeks ago against Australia and it wasn't the RWC semi-final or anything. Welsh have the right to "*****", you don't see any french people getting aggressive or anything, even the players themselves looked like "WOW !! That was close/we got lucky" at the camera just when the game ended. There IS abuse from the ref or there ISN'T. It's fact, that can be reviewed and discussed and drawn solid conclusions from. The ref ether DID fk up the match (intentionally or not, that's another question) or it's just disgruntled stupid fans making excuses - but there is a great line that separates the two, fact and fantasy...like day and night or the news and sci-fi books. I've heard about the Barnes '07 criticism, but the reffing just wasn't like THIS. I encourage everyone to watch the '11 final match again; at the time I didn't even see anything I was so into it - but then ppl started talking and I was like "nahhhhhhh...." and then I checked it out and well, just see it for yourself. I'm [U]nothing[/U], I'm just a guy posting on some forum. Watch reality, fact. [/QUOTE]
