To be honest I didn't notice he was there most of the time and in my book thats a good nights work. Have seen him have a couple of absolute shockers though in the past.

after watching loads of matches at Perpignan and as Season Ticket holders at TO over the years we have always asked the visisting teams for autographs and all but one player ( a certain Cougars thug) have all taken the time,win or lose to sign our programmes.Even Jonny Lomax last year at Perpignan when he was almost unconscious !
Don't know if you have experienced the Toulouse hospitality but it's well worth the trip ask any Championship fan to TO13 !



forgot to mention Gareth Thomas & Barry Eaton in the 'nice guys' list

All the fans in the ground around us were saying he'd done well. I didn't really notice him, which to me is the sign of a good ref.

Alibert had another solid game.We all know that the best referees are sat in their armchairs,eating fish and chips and smoking cigarettes.Unfortunately,they don't know the rules and don't have the fitness to lace up their boots.

Best of luck to your wife mate. Nice to hear good stories about players too. What an absolute legend Gareth Thomas is, was sceptical about him trying to learn RL so late but what a credit to rugby in general he is.



Have kinda followed Wales RU for many years, would be cool to get his autograph at our game against Crusaders next week but I'm in East Stand so no chance really.

met him a few times ie. after the france v wales game plus a couple of Crusaders games (latterly the pre season friendly) and was great chatting away and signing my programme etc - yeh, a really nice person and still playing well,just like Menzies.
