@SBarnesRugby Steve Borthwick is clueless & sticks to either players at the end of their careers or they play for the wrong team 🤦♀️

A clueless omission. Lee Blackett needs to come out and explain this call. I'm open minded but a it befuddled by Borthwick's obvious dismissal of England's exciting and versatile centre

Max Ojomoh's all-round skills and athleticism are clear, but what also sets him apart is his ability to enjoy the game, something sorely needed in an England side burdened by expectation @SBarnesRugby column 🔽 #Echobox=1779067229" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">thetimes.com/sport/rugby-un…

@BathBytes Don’t know he puts Ben Spencer in the squad & then he just puts him on the bench. No Ojomoh, Arundell or Lawrence. Honestly Borthwick sticks to the same players & some at the end of their careers.
English
So Van Rensburg is living his lifelong ambition of playing for England....
...... if only Ojomoh had that much passion and desire to wear the rose!

Big call-ups for Caluori and van Rensburg 🌹 Steve Borthwick has named them within his England squad for a three-day training camp ahead of the inaugural Nations Championship 🏴

@KCambus26121 @SBarnesRugby Totally agree with you. Respect Barnes as a player but he is so wrong but saying that, he is entitled to his opinion as are we.
English
@SBarnesRugby Stuart I thought that the main priority was player safety. Andy G was rightly commenting on circumstances that allowed blatant poor tackle technique to go unpunished more than once and you are clearly criticising it. Sad
English
For those still frothing at the `French directors', read Rob Kitson in The Guardian. Superb stuff. If it was a bad day for anyone it wasn't the referee or even French TV, it was over-exited punditry. Miles had a good commentary by focusing on the facts not the perfidious French..
English
@AndyGoode10 You are right with regards to Bath Rugby fans seeing no replays & frustrated with no yellow card in the second half, after being warned in the first half. So much was missed in that game & we were never going to get a break. Well done to Bordeaux - cracking game of rugby.
English
Some of us have played the game and some of us haven’t, imagine being a Bath fan seeing the lack of replays and for blatant yellow cards. My job is to say what I see, your job is to sit in your Mum’s basement and watch

Commentary on this game is basically Miles Harrison getting really excited about how great the game is then Goode & Dallagilo tediously complaining about innocuous refereeing decisions and it pretty neatly sums up what rugby discourse & discussion has become the last few years.

@PaulCon27059910 @themac49 @willcarling No it’s not but if you want to read more in to it, go ahead. Bordeaux took their chances & we didn’t 🤷♀️

Watching Bath V Bordeaux - can’t believe the TMO has been so quiet on any decisions that could be in Bath’s favour !! Quite incredible !
English
@andrewsduncan1 @AndyGoode10 You’re not getting it - this is about player welfare & the result of the game 🤦♀️
English
To all the nauses I’ll just leave this photo here, I say what I see with no agenda and the French directors don’t give us any replays
English
@HHrabno @AndyGoode10 That’s not the point as it was head on head contact & this isn’t disputing the result 🤦♀️
English
@AndyGoode10 Cry more. That would have deserved, at best, a yellow card, which still wouldn’t have changed the outcome. You were beaten.

@tomdabs I am so proud of Bath but this referee & TMO have cost us the game.

@balders2 Agree & I wish Bordeaux all the best in the final.

Best team on the day won, no doubt about that, but some of the officialdom nonsense hit new depths. French TV director had a blinder for Bordeaux. Arguably their best player behind Lucu and Jalibert.

@DavidSteelMP @SCRUMMA22 @SquidgeRugby What about the warning to Bordeaux in the first half & 2 head contacts with Barbeary as well. Have a good evening Darragh 😂🤣
English
@CallyJones47 @SCRUMMA22 @SquidgeRugby Bordeaux should of had a penalty try when Ewels got the yellow too. Bath also got turned over 3 times in the Bordeaux 22. That's on Bath
English
@themac49 @willcarling I’m not saying Bordeaux didn’t deserve the win but the poor referee & TMO ruined the game.
English
@CallyJones47 @willcarling As a Bath STH (and ref) I felt the Officiating was poor and TMO awol, but ultimately Bath lost as a result of too many costly and highly avoidable mistakes, + more poor line outs which continue to be our Achilles heel, and not being clinical enough in attack! Congrats Bordeaux!

@CallyJones47 @SCRUMMA22 @SquidgeRugby It wasn't the ref that overthrew the lineout 10m out when Bath were only 5 down

@withers_sol @DoctorColossus3 @BathRugby @theTRUESPEED Just about to say the same thing. I’m glad Finn Russell plays for Bath 🤷♀️

@BathRugby @theTRUESPEED I am so unbelievably proud of my team today - one proud Bath supporter here. I thought the officiating was shocking & don’t know how Ben Spencer remained so calm. 🔵⚫️⚪️

@DavidSteelMP @SquidgeRugby Tigers, Saracens, Worcester, Wasps, Falcons. No affiliation to Bath whatsoever, just simply calling out a game that has been officiated terribly. Amashukeli is a repeat offender, yet still gets given these big games? Give it to Hollie Davidson, she’s levels above.
English
@DavidSteelMP @SCRUMMA22 @SquidgeRugby No, they were beaten because of shocking decisions by the ref & a TMO who’d clearly gone to sleep. Before you reply, I’m entitled to my opinion.
English
@SCRUMMA22 @SquidgeRugby He's whinging over perfectly reasonable decisions while ignoring the multiple infringements from Bath. Bath were beat today because Bordeaux were better not because of the ref
