    I'm in Paris tomorrow night.

    Anyone any ideas on what to do or see?

    Apparently there's some footie game on...

    I pray for France to gel and pull out a performance after 8 years of merde and England to choke on the final day drawing inspiration from your last 13 years of turd. Can't see it though, it will be a well deserved Grand Slam and the start of a few years of English dominance IMO.

  • I'm gonna tip France to win tomorrow, someone has gotta be the lone voice. Pressure is all on England to lose the game rather than France to win it.

    Missed it but watched Glasgow grind out a win against Leinster based on a great defensive performance.

    So Italian 9 is lying in an offside position in a ruck, doesn't roll away. No penalty-he can't get out says ref. 5 minutes later Wales 3 doing the same thing but attempting to get out-ref says I know you can't move away but you slowed the ball. Italy penalty....no consistency by the same ref within 5 minutes, terrible officiating is spoil in rugby for me, it really is.

  • Never been a fan of Poite to be honest, but Barnes and co should have seen off side by Wales for first try. That said, we have had enough against us in the past so you win some you lose some.

    Win some lose some isn't good enough for decisions like that, bloody terrible and decision like that happen every game I watch.

    in a game as complex as rugby you're just not going to get complete accuracy in the officiating. All you can hope for is that it is overall reasonably fair, not grossly bad and doesn't get in the way too much.

    You do have an obsession with looking for dodgy decisions though. I've never known anyone moan about refs more than you!

    Wanting officiating teams to get obvious decisions right isn't moaning, that one 2 Wales players were about 4 years in front of the kicker, how do you miss that? It's not good enough. Inconsistency in officials is killing the game. Expecting a certain standard isn't an obsession with dodgy decisions, like I say big easy decisions are missed every game, the tv ref misses things every game, it's ridiculous.

    I accept that but big decisions are missed every game. Hands on the floor and scrum stuff is fair enough but some of the glaring misses are ridiculous. You can point out massive decisions that are obvious in every game that are missed.

    They've dropped off so much in the last few years, it's a shame.
