June International Test: New Zealand vs. Wales [1st Test] (11/06/2016)

It's not salty, the ball come out of the hands backwards. Cut it out. He over-ruled the TMO, and he's got it wrong.
 
No doubt Barnes was responsible for the 15 handling mistakes and 10 missed tackles......
 
I don't understand what the touchy's job is if he can't see that that is offside...

Obviously you cannot count and don't see the difference between 11 and 18.
 
NZ fans always get salty over Barnes he is a decent ref TBH. He get's some calls wrong but so does every ref. Yet alot want him to be dropped from top level reffing despite the fact we have furk all ref wise.

A lot better than the crap NZ offer Ref wise.

Embarrassing Barnes ruled out Perenara's try. He really shouldn't be getting things like that wrong.
 
Nahaolo is an outstanding individual player, but NZ are as good as they are because of their support play and working together. Not sure if he fits the mould.

He's a very average reff. He will never reff a world cup final end of story.

He's been involved in so many howlers it beggars belief and alot of them werent even when NZ was involved.
 
If only the game was 60 minutes long Wales would be the best team in the world.
 
Great game to watch through resilience and spirit shown by the Welsh and the many, many mistakes (as enumerated on the tv screen) from a rusty AB team.....and the usual top class Reffing of Barnes.

Looking forward to seeing this AB team develop and in particular if the wingers can learn to defend and if Crudeness can become a half decent kicker!

Side point, Cips is a better playmaker than Crudeness and at least a decent kicker but cannot get in the English team.......does that mean Farrell and Ford would be shoe ins for the ABs?
 
Bet the people who give Barnes grief think Owens is a god amongst refs despite being shocking this year.

Making worse calls than any Barnes made today. (lol the Racing Tigers game being a prime example).
 
Red zone... Can Wales convert... No.

Exactly why we've lost this one. We've had 3 maybe 4 real opportunities in the NZ 22, but have trucked it up everytime and ended up losing the ball. We've ironically looked more dangerous from deep, very odd for us.

Never thought I'd say this about a Welsh side under Gatland, but I'm worried about our fitness. We've looked knackered since the the 60th minute and lost the 2nd half 24 - 3, the last 20 mins 21 - 0. Definitely worrying as we're only gonna get more tired as the series goes on, and the pretty fresh All Blacks side will only get better as they get more time together.

I think he's better than Savea or could be. Savea has all the ability in the world but he wastes it through being a lazy ****er. I really think they are playing Naholo on the wrong wing and when Skudder is back and Savea is still being a lazy ****er they should give Naholo a couple games on his wing.
