I was kidding and showing my pro-French bias, wasn't expecting it to be called like that. :lol:

 

[Bovrick]

Not the most discrete leg up to be honest...

 

[ParraEelsNRL]

Bad look.

 

[Mixmasterreece]

Refs are already having a shocker

 

[African Monkey]

Shane Hayne showcasing the talent of NRL video refereeing :lol:

lol how did he find a no try out of that

 

[blukablu]

Northern hemisphere teams are so bad under the high ball.

 

[Desert Qlder]

This tournament is leaving me in no doubt that the British referees are far superior to the Australian/Kiwis.

 

[Danish]

These last tackle kicks are killing the french. Only luck has stopped them from conceding a try on every one of them.

If the french can figure out how to defend them though they are matching them in just about every other aspect. This is France after all so wouldn't put it past them to perhaps send a couple late hits on Johnson and Foran to try and put the off their game.

Don't forget the Frenchie video ref Albert.

Yep. It's like there is something fundamentally wrong with our top refs. They are broken. Throw them out and start again

 

[Meth]

Why is it so hard for us to adjust to short in-goals?

 

[Springs]

France would be going alright if they could defend bombs.

 

[Springs]

Bosc needs to put up about 50 of them to Locke tonight.

 

[Bovrick]

France would be going alright if they could defend bombs.

Same for New Zealand

 

[Meth]

Home town officiating

 

[adamkungl]

France are gonna get murdered if they keep giving leg up penalties

 

[Meth]

Home town officiating

To be honest, aside from Hayne's ruling, it's probably more pedantic officiating

 

[adamkungl]

Shit call, Bosc should have been allowed to run away with that

 

[Desert Qlder]

That rule is so bad. The attacking team does not deserve a reward for strong defence.

 

[whall15]

Great tackle there by the French.
