Referee appointments:
France v New Zealand
Referee: Wayne Barnes (RFU)
Assistant Referee 1: Luke Pearce (RFU)
Assistant Referee 2: Karl Dickson (RFU)
TMO: Stuart Terheege (RFU)The All Blacks against France. The man with the whistle is Wayne "blind as a bat" Barnes. What could possibly go wrong?
Bollocks, he's a great ref. Sure in 07 he was totally inexperienced and fucked the ABs, freezing liked a podium in the lights, but that was 14 years ago. He's one of the best refs in the world now
He robbed the ABs of a World Cup knockout game and shouldn't have been allowed to referee an under 11 match after that let alone international tests. He's fucked up several other tests since then. A dreadful ref.
Usually has a brain fart or two each game. Not the first name that springs to mind when I think of the best, hell I've only barely forgiven him for 2007....

You need to be intelligent to be a playmaker

I'm sure this isn't just meant to be a normal picture and there's something I'm missing...

Check out his mask, it's not just poorly fitted, it's inside out.
Full 95 masks, great, inside out, FFS

@machpants all his buttons in the right holes though.

Who hasn't put a mask on upside down/inside out? Hell, I have even tried drinking a coffee with a mask on. I wouldn't recommend that.

I knew Oz has extra precautions we haven't had over here, but putting a mask on a coffee is nek level.

Friday is the new Thursday.

We will likely get to know who won't be involved in this test before the match 23 is announced, as a small group will be flying to Europe earlier than the main squad.

And I'm sure George sets up his mask perfectly at training, he's not likely to go it alone, either...
