To be fair it is Thaler so maybe it’s his Wakey accent

Of course there's no particular reason why the match director in France should speak English. But probably a prerequisite that the match director and the VR speak the same language.

I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

I’m reminded of the third umpire in India where they were determined not to show footage that proved India on the wrong end of it !

We have the same old problem. The on field ref called it a double movement. So as soon as the ball was seen to have touched the ground, the video ref had to go with the on field call, rather than give his own view as to whether it was a try or not.

Did the VR actually get an angle & speed he asked for ?

Assuming we're seeing the same images then no, he didn't. But said he could see what he wanted anyway.

Very poor all round.

The video referee conversation with the match director reminds me of my conversation with my 9 year old daughter every morning when I am getting her ready for school.

I ask but she ignores everything I say.

Thaler has to be a bit stronger though no, he needs to insist they show him the angle he wants to see.

Indeed , his first thought was I must see this at full speed .

Dylan Napa is either a dirty git or just braindead 

I rolled my eyes when I saw it was Napa but there wasnt actually much in that one, high tackle was Sezer had dropped down to about shin height.

OK so we're playing different high tackle rules in the play offs

The MRP are not the referees it seems

Should have been a try. 

I'm not bothered who wins.Of course it was a try.Some thing dodgy going on there.If you are going to disallow that then RL is losing something.

I find it hard to reconcile the two facts that (1) I rate the job McNamara has done at Catalans and (2) this lunatic Napa gets a game.

Obviously we can't tell properly because they've allowed schoolkids to film the game,  but that looked a bad one to me.  I think with Sky cameras there could have been a red card.
