Dai Bank Sep 2015 8:45pm, 18 Sep 2015 4,253 posts	0 Dai Bank Can,t believe there,s no thread on this so here we are. 31 minutes in and already the Ref is the star of the show. Really hope that the story of the World Cup does not become the standard, or lack thereof, of refereeing. TMO well to the fore so far... Fiji allowing England far too much room and to be fair England taking the scoring opportunities.
Carpathius Sep 2015 9:02pm, 18 Sep 2015 7,746 posts	0 Carpathius I'd expected the ref at this level to be more... confident. Not totally sure I agree with the penalty try given, and the decision over Fiji's first (disallowed) try was stupid. What if the big screen hadn't shown that replay? If he didn't see then he shouldn't have given it first and backtracked later.
maT.T. Sep 2015 9:05pm, 18 Sep 2015 8,392 posts	0 maT.T. Dai Engtland have been poor and should be no more than 5 points ahead? The ref awarded the try and then changed his mind because he caught a replay on the big screen, what a joke. Fiji will score at least 2 more tries second half I think. England to win by one score. Will be good for them to get this game behind them.

Makes you wonder just how far they'd be capable of rewinding if a suitable replay was shown.
