Watson thing, totally inoccuous,
Sexton- he's one strike away from the end of his career.
The one thing you guys missed was Vunipola's haymaker on Loann Goujon after the huge tackle.
It was shown on French TV. I expect him to be cited.
Last point- by a mile, George Kruis was the MoM and the Player of the Series for me. Saturday he won us that game.

Bearing in mind laws are a framework with which to interprate, you will always need to play the ref.
An example: Barnes is ridiculously pedatic at scrum time and will ping and reset. Roman Poite (IMO the best RIGHT NOW) will just ping and will not have any nonsense.
Nige and Poite will alllow more of a jackal contest and allow a player to set the ball more than Joubert.
Good sides will know what the ref wants. To argue otherwise is daft.

I saw it, thought it was out of character for Billy V but other guy was on the floor on his back when Billy did it. Ref Watson, how anyone can say that's fairly innocuous after see init again and the photo which to me is far worse than Ashton's, I cannot see why he was not cited. It's a mockery.
Re the punch (which I'd expect a 4 week ban for) they were both prone, but Billy was less prone if that makes sense.

Aye fair enough, I do think the gap between refs interpretations is too wide in a sport so big though, I'd like to see the gap narrowed.

A slight difference will always be there as these are human beings and mistakes will always be made, I think we can all live with that. I just think that there's too much difference between the top refs, put Barnes and Owens in charge of the same game and you'll have a different game completely. That to me is what's wrong with it. The glaring errors that happen all too often could do with being reduced too.

Poite and Garces are the kiddies at the moment. Glen Jackson, given time, will be great too and I have no issue with CJ and never will.
Clancy- words fail me.

I like Stander over Robshaw to be honest, but the rest are bang on Robshaw has had a good tournament though, never a 7 and in himdsight the captaincy might have hung too heavy on him.

I'd love to see some ex props come in, they might sort out the scrum lottery.

They'd never keep up (I say this as an ex prop..)
Maybe as a full ref, I'd welcome them running on at scrum time though. Nigel Owens interviewed by Brian Moore this week says that he honestly is concentrating too hard on other things to miss crooked feeds, something that he's said before in 2013. In 3 years surely someone could say, if you have too much on why not have The TV ref watch the feeds and buzz the ref on the pitch when it's crooked? That is an instant, free and wouldn't slow the game down at all fix to something that every rugby fan I've ever spoken to would like fixed.
