Profile of Andrew Porter in the Sunday Times. His mother died of breast cancer at 49 and was buried the day he should have started secondary school. Then he suffered from anorexia. Got to respect the guy for getting over it. In as much as you do get over it I suppose.

Blame him, Rassie, ROG, that frenchie, and all the other coaches if you want, but more and more are getting really frustrated with the poor quality of officiating.
There was nothing remarkable in that officiating performance. Whatever mistakes were made pale in comparison with Italy's repeated self sabotage.

If we can live with the Irish pack and get the feckin ball off them our backs can do some damage

I just think that forward unit is the best in the game just now and I’m not sure we can pressure them into making rare mistakes

Wales were terrible, we should have lost that game.
Italy had the better players and are better coached.
But it was Italy that butchered a few tries and fecked up for a couple of tries.

This Wales team is thrown together and in turmoil, to lose that that shower of shit would make me angry.
But to blame the officials was crass and unhelpful going forward.

What was the issue last decade in a Stormers game when a ball got thrown in and try was incorrectly ruled out - was it wrong ball or thrown in with foot over the line?

Bizarre that nobody thought of this possibility when the law was being drafted.

Lovely. Ireland not really getting near Scottish ball and unable to stop the quick ball.

Fair enough!

Scotland very like not to be a try down and really are going to struggle without Richie I think.

But Ireland are looking beatable in attack

Amazing retention. I don’t think Ireland had a chance to get hold of the ball at any point.

Nice to see a ref actually penalise tacklers for not releasing in that situation.

Irish forwards are going so far beyond the ruck to clear out a defender, they’re leaving the ball exposed on the floor.

He’s the first ref to ref Ireland properly in a long time, appears to have done his homework
