I'm giving the Australian victory to the ref, he's been on their side all game. They should be playing with a man down, Briscoe's try should have stood and they should have been dropping that ball out. Absolute prick.

This is making my blood boil now, the ref is a bloody disgrace,
Game over now I'm afraid.

Cheated again

To be fair to Westwood he's been pinged at least three time by this joker for doing nothing more than Australia have been doing all game with impunity.

Reckon Australia will get 40+ now.

Exactly - they've been messing about the ruck all game. We do it and we get penalised.

This is really getting beyond the joke

What does it take to get a penalty off this bloke?

The referee has completely lost it now. What an utter joke.

looks like all you have to do is whinge about the referee after a game and you will be handed the next one on a silver platter!

sheens must a smug grin on his face today

Yessssss! Well in REED!!!

What an effort from Reed!

Inglis's local pie-shop must have closed down (how much weight has he lost?)

Watmough would have ate Widdop for breakfast.



Tom didn't need to step back inside, he'd ave scored direct.

Both commentators were telling us what a great new ref he was early in the first half.

Irrelevant - he still scored a perfectly good try and had it chalked off by this useless dingbat masquerading as a referee.

Useless play.

Why do we have players in position to receive the ball who then seem utterly shocked when it comes to them?

Hardly irrelevant.

The ref wouldn't have been able to rob him of the try if he'd have ran straight and hard.

I think the ref has done ok generally but you must question his understanding of what is and isn't held.

This guy needs to be

Sorry - my crystal ball is in for repair so I'm unable to view this alternate timeline. I'm therefore not able to see the clear-cut, easy, and utterly uncontroversial try you mention.

How was Yeaman "held" there?

Why are we allowing someone who took charge of their first top grade game in July referee a test match?

he wasn't!

Presumably in the same manner that Briscoe made a double movement.

The bloke is utterly useless.

Chase seals the deal for Australia now. Gifting Thurston the ball not a great idea. Oh well.
