Well I,m not doubting you but what astonishes me is that in the France v Scotland game the first second half try contained 2 obvious forward passes,ie not straight,not borderline, but American Football passes. There was also a blatant obstruction.

The ref in the Wales England game was so inconsistent as to be embarrassing and some of his decisions where incomprehensible bearing in mind previous decisions.

We saw a glaring example of bad refereeing at the Leigh v Fax game last season however the worst video refereeing decision I,ve ever seen was at last seasons NL2 Grand Final featuring Doncaster v Oldham.

On balance however RL refs do a decent job imo.Mind you Kick and Clap has a lot more rules, most of which seem to me just to slow a very slow game down to a snailspace,and no doubt with the intention of giving players a breather and its speccies a chance to read the Financial Times.

Wash your mouth out..............Nothing wrong with cricket, anything but kick n clap.

At leas they show the fights in Onion

Lets be fair to the kick and clap brigade, if the refs didnt turn a blind eye to the "odd" forward pass and knock on, they wouldnt score any bloody tries. And whats all this "crouch, touch, engage" cr*p that the ref says at every scrum?

pause too, dont forget that!!
