Now you see, I thought WE were at a disadvantage with French referees, given our record under them recently especially Garces, because he is very slack on policing midfield offsides, and lets be clear, the "rush" defence we are seeing being used by teams such as Ireland and South Africa is really an "offside" defence - they start from in front of the hind most foot, and they rush early nearly every time. Last night was no exception
It is something that the referees really need to crack down on because it stifles enterprising back-play.
if they meet again in the final. Who would you prefer to ref the final? Barnes or Owens, assuming Garces or Poite Or Gardner aren't considered?
