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.

To be fair to Chase we needed to push it then, we needed 2 scores

England still wriggling. Good effort really today, good effort lads.

That Sam Tomkins never shows up against the Aussies tho.

Ryan Hall's been magnificent for me today.

I'm confused, isn't that double movement? I mean if Briscoe's was.....

It's been a great game - and the best I've seen England play in a while - but the ref has ruined it this second half. Poor decision after poor decision.

It's disgraceful that he went to the screen for that last try but not Briscoe's.

And the referee demonstrates just what a complete bell-end he was to disallow Briscoe's try.

You couldn't make it up.

Poor by Yeaman there, couple of errors from him today, but he's not really an international class centre. Wonder whether he'll be dropped for next week.
