RWC: All Blacks v Ireland (QF2)
-
Is there a source for Barnes being the referee?
He has a 6-10 record the ABs since Cardiff. Not particularly interested in his fare.

As @Chris-B asks what does 6-10 mean?
TBH I'd prefer him to the Frenchies. Less likely to do something crazy, though he does have a habit of pulling a howler out of the bag after being very good.

@Chris-B said in RWC: All Blacks v Ireland (QF2):
@rotated What does your 6-10 mean? We've lost 6 times with him reffing?
Six losses to ten wins.
Losses:
France @ Cardiff 2007
Australia @ Brisbane 2011
South Africa @ Joburg 2014
Australia @ Sydney 2015
Australia @ Brisbane 2017
Ireland @ Dublin 2018Wins
Scotland @ Edinburgh 2008
Ireland @ New Plymouth 2010
France @ Auckland 2014
Wales @ Cardiff 2014
Argentina @ London 2015
Wales @ Auckland 2016
France @ Paris 2016
Australia @ Sydney 2017
Wales @ Cardiff 2017
Australia @ Auckland 2018In about three quarters of those wins the ABs trailed at half time or led by less than a penalty. Outside of McCaw or Carter not being on the team sheet I doubt there has been a bigger game changer on the AB winning record post 2007.

Might want to look at the stats of Nigel Owens instead - he's the ref.

No need - he is a good ref.

We also get Graham Hughes as TMO - he's excellent IMO. As good as Skeen is bad.

We avoid Barnes and Garces.
No complaints with Nigel Owens officiating of the All Blacks to date.

Wasn't Owens in charge against SA in SA when they bypassed protocol on a try decision when it screened at the ground?

That was Clancy.
Owens had the Wellington test last year and one of the tests with Donald at 10 in 2009. Maybe one more Bledisloe loss in there somewhere?

Clancy, the Irishman with the French name? Figures

Nigel is a good appointment for us as far as I’m concerned,
He is one that tends to allow the game to flow more than most imo , I couldn’t be happier with that bit of news

That would be Clancě.
Can't get much more Irish than Clancy, except maybe O'Clancy.
Alain Rolland is the Irish ref with a French name.

That's an epic fail on my part. I'll just sit in the corner and let the grown ups talk

@kiwiinmelb that was the duo in the fake team that was released last week
Gotta feel for Aki (or anyone that finds themselves in a similar position) all the work to get to this, then a momentary lapse and your dreams are gone!

That plus Henshaw would have been selected for the next three games so Aki gets an extra 3 weeks off after the tournament too!
I haven't been hugely impressed with Owens this world cup. If he keeps on as he has been going, Ireland will have a huge leeway at the tackle, breakdown, ruck, maul.

The thing being, it requires an adjustment for us. It's Ireland's bread and butter...

Weather forecast looks shit. Is this a negative for us? The game slowing down will benefit the Irish but we are a pretty decent wet weather team as well.

it looks like the heavier rain is in the middle of the day , hopefully eased off by gametime
