2019 and 2024 World Player of the Year winner Pieter Steph du Toit has today been linked with a move to Munster 👀
Any potential move would take place from December of 2025
This would be quite the signing
@CouchReferee@jim_demps I am a ref and I have to agree, he made Alot of basic errors tonight, he will have to learn from it or he is not good enough for this standard
@jim_demps Jim, give it a rest man. Your team lost, it happens move on.
Posting this and promoting a pile on a young official is not the behaviour of a “fan”
bit of advice : pick up a whistle and give it a try since you seem so interested in criticism of officials, why not be one ?
Made no difference to the result but the difference in getting a BP and not.
Count in your head how long between James Ryan being tackled and when he passes the ball. 7 seconds? Longer?
Mack Hansen is no fool. Shoddy work from the officials.
@RugbyPass@danielgallan Let's not get it twisted, if Jonny took his kicks, we would have won by more, if the ref called the forward pass like he should have, we would have won by more, if all day long
Honestly cannot believe what I’m seeing and reading on the non red card. The judicial committee have made a farce of the whole process and player welfare issues
New laws around the rugby tackle is going to take some time to bed in. Ball carrier has to present a target area to be tackled. A few of these yesterday. Coaches beware !
People saying I got the Juan Cruz Mallia incident wrong, yes I did in the eyes of the judicial panel.
The majority of refs going to the World Cup would probably have done as Andrew Brace did as Mallia got the charge down.
Refs & judicial panel interpretations very different!
Juan Cruz Mallia has been cited so here are the facts.
1) Is it a genuine attempt to go for the ball? = Yes
2) Is he in a realistic position to charge down the ball? = Yes
Yes to both so if he’s banned it will completely change how the law is written
A lot of people saying this is a red card, it’s not as he charges the ball down first before the contact and Andrew Brace was correct that it’s a rugby incident twitter.com/PBendon/status…
This is a violent assault, everyone person involved in this horrid attack needs to be arrested.
You can’t play this down as ‘bullying’, multiple blows to the head and stamping on him when he’s down.
THERE SHOULD BE NO PLACE FOR THIS IN IRELAND 😡
