Home town refereeing

Clegg · 28-09-2019 10:00AM

It's a pen.

But it's so galling how he can spot this but not obvious Japanese infringements at the breakdown.

corny · 28-09-2019 10:00AM

Cheat. There's no other word for him.

ScrubsfanChris · 28-09-2019 10:00AM

This could be the win gone. Not that we deserve it.

alswearengen · 28-09-2019 10:00AM

Ah well, hadn't a hope of winning the WC anyway so nice to see Japan get the win.

Soups123 · 28-09-2019 10:00AM

He can’t help put penalize Ireland and giving nothing to Ireland, it’s an absolute disgrace. As poor as Ireland’s performance

can they cite the ref ?

Rolland already went through his refs for a shortcut after the first block of games. Clearly it had little effect.

razorblunt · 28-09-2019 10:01AM

So quick to ping Ireland.

Can see 2 offsides there must be so frustrating on the pitch.

Poor_old_gill · 28-09-2019 10:01AM

This is honestly the worst performance I have ever seen from a ref.

This is official complaint territory - he doesnt know the rules, it's a major issue.

The Iron Giant · 28-09-2019 10:01AM

Outrageously one sided refereeing.

Irish_rat · 28-09-2019 10:01AM

Ref is bad but Ireland are dire

irishgeo · 28-09-2019 10:01AM

This ref is ****. Ireland pinged for offside but not Japan.

This a 100%

7 points down....what a disaster of a performance

piplip87 · 28-09-2019 10:02AM

Ireland have been very poor. No excuses there but the reffing has been disgraceful.

Keep the host nation in it as long as possible must be a directive from the IRB

When you're allowed to get away with everything it helps. Illegally slowin down Ireland, getting penalties awarded constantly.

It's a disgraceful display of refereeing. It's shameful.

It’ll be washed over by the media because of the magnitude of the loss.

Faugheen · 28-09-2019 10:02AM

Lads there only so much you can blame the ref for.

Ireland have been piss poor. That team should be doing a hell of a lot better than it is.

beggars_bush · 28-09-2019 10:02AM

The lack of control from Ireland is scary

lord quackinton · 28-09-2019 10:02AM

Schmidt looks rattled. Bad day but the bonus point against Scotland really important now

Eire? You looking for a rise?

BBDBB · 28-09-2019 10:02AM

Japan are the better side

Maybe it’s because of that!!

All the refs fault of course // and the linesmen

Referee having a great game.

Pinch Flat · 28-09-2019 10:03AM

All blacks will smash us 80-0 if we meet them

wazzer1 · 28-09-2019 10:03AM

Japan by far the better team. Basic skills handling etc far better.

mugsymugsy · 28-09-2019 10:03AM

At 60 mins Ireland should have wrestled the game and played to their strengths. The Helter skelter last 10 mins was crazy.

Needed leadership from the senior players

STB. · 28-09-2019 10:03AM

Angus has been averaging 23 penalties per game.

Ireland have been poor. The ref has however been worse. Just as bad as he was back in Cardiff in March.
