[QUOTE="profitius, post: 714708, member: 41524"] I think he rode Ireland again. I'll have a look later on in the week. What I saw yesterday was him giving Wales 2 or 3 soft penalties to go 12 ahead. Ireland had the dominant scrum and were moving forward but Wales got a penalty and scored another 3 points from that. That was when Wales were down to 14. Ireland's superior scrum was completely nullified by Barnes. Samson Lee got injured badly in a scrum which Barnes just looked at. The scrum collapsed but no Ireland penalty. But what boils my p!as about him is when Ireland were attacking - and they were for the majority of the game - he wasn't at all pedantic. Different rules applied. Then we had that ending. His history of Ireland matches and Walshes withdrawal for business commitments is very dodgy to me. Ireland's win loss record with him is worse than any other ref by far. But it has turned out great for the tournament and Barnes' own country , England. I'm expecting the usual 'you sound bitter' comments but I'm not. I feel Ireland were again on the wrong end of Barnes calls. He certainly didn't have a "great game" ! I've said it all time time that refs make mistakes etc but he isnt a normal ref. The only one to be called a fcuking cheat on the field too! [/QUOTE]
