Pathetic refereeing

Could have cost us the game

There were no arms used in the tackle. Tho it was most likely not malicious. He deserved that card

Bertie you've had a chip on your shoulder about refereeing all weekend; what gives!?

It's killing the game. It's a collision sport. If you can't hit people there's no point playing

Definitely a penalty, potentially a yellow, I don't have any beef with that - but play had moved on and only when the referee saw it on the big screen, did they go back to have a look. TMO is ruining the game! Officials need to decide on the spot whether to penalise for foul play. We have a citing commissioner to look back in hindsight at incidents

Totally agree. Make the decision immediately or continue the game. It was like in the bath game. They looked at Watson being held up a dozen times, get on with it
