[QUOTE="munstermuffin, post: 1129491, member: 39240"] Having rewatched game must say I don't get all criticism of Murphy in terms of performance. Yes I understand issues with he played with Munster in past but he is no fan of us. But few key bits: 1. For Connors injury. It was a pen and barely a pen no more. By letter of law and he got it right. The injury was very unfortunate but it was lear the impact with ground was where damage was done. 2. On Tadhg Beirne try alot saying he never went to TMO. But why if he could see and what was more telling is not 1 Leinster player argued at going to TMO. 3. Joe McCarthy try he never went TMO either and Earls was sxreaming at him to go but apart from Earls no one argued. 4. On Coombes rip at end. Alot said he played on ground but slow it down he is on feet when ball ripped. 5. Luke McGrath blatant knock on. Alot argued for yellow and minority for pen try. Correct call was just pen as there was sufficient cover and a try was 100% not definite. 5. For Baird try alot of Leinster in Stadium booing but not sure why as it was blatantly clear knock on. Overall the game was fast and flowed and Frank was up with the play. [USER=46674]@Curls[/USER] the arguments for Frank getting game are fair enough but the way RWC appointments go has nothing to do with just performance. The AR selection is linked to how they will pair as an AR with proper ref. Same goes for TMO so for example Joy Neville you will see is in as TMO for work with say Brace and not jer as a TMO on its own. I would have loved someone like Holly Davidson yesterday. [/QUOTE]
