@sdrggyy Wayne Barnes ruined my faith in rugby that day I was fuming sitting in the stands. I also believe that he was there to make sure that we lost. An entire game of rugby and one side only gets penalised twice? France of all teams too? Beggars belief. I think that I have been to two internationals since and not one world cup match because of it.
Barnes was badly let down by his touch judges
In ToryGraph today WB said the TMO spotted it real time, but wasn’t allowed to inform onfield team.
It’s taken him 14 years to confirm that?

I was at the 2007 game, but at the risk of repeating myself, I found the 2019 exit worse.
We were never really in the 2007 game after the 1st half - in 2019 we seemed to bugger up opportunity after opportunity to win the game

I'm a little more concerned that All Black teams no longer continually show ruthlessness. The ability to keep a foot on their throat and grind them into a dark place mentally. Giving up points late in the game when the result isn't in doubt, and through very poor discipline suggests to me that the hard lessons of the 2007 exit are lost on this group.

Blame the NZRFU and the public for that. There are none left who were there in 2007, and this group was immediately forgiven for the fuck-up of 2019 - the official response was to appoint one of the losing coaches to the top job, and the general public at large didn't seem to give a shit about the loss or that appointment. If no-one seems to care from those two groups, I'm not sure why we think the players should learn anything.

At the risk of harnessing the benefit of hindsight, I think the situations were different. In 2007 we had a young core that ended up being the foundation of 2011 and 2015. And it is hard to compare GH, Wayne Smith and Hansen (all coaches with previous test nation experience) and Fozzie's coaching team.

Agree they aren't identical situations by any means, but of the lessons was don't be hasty, so perhaps they have overapplied that lesson (agree that Fozzy isn't of the calibre of the previous brains trust).

The way it ended in 2019, and the outside perception of Fozzie's role in Hansen's group, and based in no small part to his Chiefs tenure, he has work to do to win over many people, lots of ferners included. We can't get rid of him ourselves, so he has time and opportunity to win hearts and minds by his actions

I don't know, they really had our number. No doubt Hansen and co would have had a better answer if we were allowed a rematch but good coaching should have an answer by the second half and we didn't.

In 2007 I was the referee of the World Cup quarter-final between France and New Zealand. Between myself and the officials I was in charge of, we missed the forward pass from Damien Traille to Frédéric Michalak for the match-winning try. Chris White, the television match official, knew that the ball had gone forward but he couldn’t intervene. At that time, you could only turn to the TMO for the grounding of the ball. That meant Chris had to sit there, inert, and accept the decision. But New Zealand were knocked out, and the forward pass is central to many people’s memories of that match.
As a referee and as a rugby fan, that’s the last thing I want.
There is something so passive and obtuse the way he always talks about that game that shits me to tears.
I still don't understand how he managed to be 25-30 metres away from the forward pass on first phase ball off an attacking scrum.
It was really the combination of three mistakes from Barnesy that sunk that game.
- The lack of a penalty in the last 60 minutes despite 60%+ possession.
- The McAllister yellow card (could the TMO have intervened on that farce I wonder?)
- The forward pass.
We likely could have survived two of those, but all three plus the injuries to Carter and then Evans was insurmountable.

That’s interesting because that would suggest the coaches and the team didn’t adjust to what was happening. The scoreboard certainly suggested we were in it, but if your view is right then isn’t this the very thing Foster is currently being accused of and what Hansen is apparently guilty of in 2019?

That’s interesting because that would suggest the coaches and the team didn’t adjust to what was happening.

I thought VM was talking about the Wales vs France loss in 2019 being worst than 2011 there but that is obviously wrong because I reread and he said 2007 and I misread.
When Rodders crashed over after 20-odd phases around the 65th minute in 2007 I didn't really expect us to lose.

VM is talking about Wales isn't he (I think?).
Who posts anything other than about the All Blacks when 2007 is mentioned
As you were if it was about Wales.
