2023 Six Nations
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.
Oh well, better than being patronised anyway.EnergiseR2 wrote: Sun Mar 12, 2023 1:53 pm Bollox. Anything that undermines the Welsh win is to be welcomed

There was nothing remarkable in that officiating performance. Whatever mistakes were made pale in comparison with Italy's repeated self sabotage.dabooldawg wrote: Sun Mar 12, 2023 1:55 pmBlame 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.JM2K6 wrote: Sun Mar 12, 2023 12:50 pm Leaving aside the more partisan takes, I'm hugely disappointed that the Italy coach would focus on the referee rather than his team's insane profligacy.
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?

Nice patient build up to that score

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

White has had very good start I think

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