[June Tests 2018: 2nd Test] Australia vs. Ireland (16/06/2018)

[TobesHodges]

Bloody hell did a referee just make a decision not to make a soft high tackle call?

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

I already like this guy,
Firm but fair on the breakdown and using common sense as well.
Also liked how he politeld told Murray to eff off, saying how he wants to keep it respectful and only work with the captains

 

[Every Time Ref]

Aus really off it mentally. Lots of bad decisions, including that tap and go

Actually, no. He was told the tackle was below shoulders by the tmo.

 

[All Black]

lol @ Michael Hooper

 

[Hanley!]

I don't think I've ever seen a penalty try yellow card given so quickly.

Been a good ref performance so far.

 

[Cruz_del_Sur]

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Furlong for the 12 shirt

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Officiating in both games better this week.

Murray wtf..

 

[All Black]

lol @ Conor Murrays kick

 

[Every Time Ref]

Murray wtf..

I assumed it must be pen advantage when it left his boot but no, just a weird decision

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Terrible decision to kick, It's not rugby league just putting the bomb up!

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

How on Earth is that not a penalty?

 

[TobesHodges]

Actually, no. He was told the tackle was below shoulders by the tmo.

TMO & Lino's give opinions the Ref always makes the final decision

 

[All Black]

Oh Pocock is playing

 

[Cruz_del_Sur]

That s not the point. He made the call based on wrong info.
It s not that he let a soft high tackle slide. He was told there was no high tackle.

 

[Every Time Ref]

Oh Pocock is playing

Pocock's had quite a big impact IMO, he's slowed down a lot of Irish ball at important moments in the attack

 

[TommiG88]

These Irish players need to wind their necks in and respect the ref.
