[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 715144, member: 45598"] Barnes wasn't good, it probably didn't effect the result but the first 20 minutes were reffed completely different to the following 60. An example off the top of my head was when McGrath was penalised for not rolling away despite making a clear attempt and getting out of the way of the ball and less than 10 minutes later a Welsh player was in a worse and "had done enough" not to be penalised. The same infringements persisted throughout out the game but was not reffed as stringently and Wales being on top in the first 20, when they didn't score a try so the argument that Ireland couldn't score tries is a bit redundant, definitely won them the game. The scrum at the end was also a huge pile of ****e, but it would have been grand larceny if they'd robbed a draw! [/QUOTE]
