Hughes continues Haskell's role of not knowing breakdown or maul laws

Seriously frustrating.. you almost wish we would concede the try to not lose a player..

serious try from De Jongh there.

He's such a dumb rugby player

Tempest has had a terrible game today... how that isn't a turnover i will never know.

Not sure it was a turnover but was 100% forward pass anyway.

true... he's done neither team a service today.

Why do refs bother shouting use it when they don't do anything when it's not used

 

[Geordie]

Tempest is the worst ref in the prem!

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

spencer banned for a month.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

What a farce

Total joke. How they've come up with that compared to Smiths is beyond me.

Interesstingly enough saw a Bristol fan comment on the Tigers Forum regarding Smith's comparison to Spencer's.

said that apparently the tackled player (Wray) testified that it was not a tackle to his head. Now whether that is true or not is another question but as far as i'm aware and according to Jim Hamilton on Rugby Pod, Wray is going trough HIA managed return due to hit and Taylor is not so doubly harsh if thats true.

Goode is interviewing Barnes (Wayne!) for his morning podcast so will be interesting to see his view. Ben Kay's comment around 6ft 6inch + players tackling in the defensive line was interesting too.

Soft call all day long and no intention but as Tempest laid it out, he believes his hands are tied as technically (and i stress that entirely as i dont believe it was red rather a yellow) the tackle fulfilled all criteria.

Bastareaud getting 5 weeks for his forearm smash makes this even more laughable

It's like Ashton getting 7 weeks from the RFU for flipping Kockott upside down but Kockott getting 0 weeks from the FFR for the eye gouge that made Ashton lose his rag
