@rustycruiser I don’t say it much, but that was 14 v 16, and we still should have won. Barnes want biased, he was jut bad, and I backed him as the ref when he was appointed.
My reply would be the one try was from a ball that went forward. But the cards and the reviews were shit
@rustycruiser it clearly went back and bounced forward, that is not a forward pass.

No complaint with Barnes
You weren't watching?

Still think DMac should have been earlier, and Taylor was a bit up and down. Thought Brodie went well though. Richie played well but over the last few years I've felt our 10s have been mostly a little passive/reactive. If only we had secured one more penatly/conversion.

Big talking points re: officials.
Frizzel card was farcical - and he played well despite what the predictable SF detractors say.
Forearm to head from BOKs not even looked at.
Kolisi was red all day..
And they know it..PSDT MOTM deservingly.
I really feel for Sam Cane but it was correct call. He also played well all tournament.
Frizzell is a grub, always has been. He knew what he was doing, the Bok must have reminded him of a chick.

You're clearly emotional and deluded if you think that was deliberate.

Despite not getting the rub of the calls, we could - and should - have won that if we'd been more accurate. So many loose passes and dropped balls killed us.
Not to mention two kicks at goal to get our noses in front.
Congratulations to the Boks and Big Pieter Steph - phenomenal game by him.
-
Barnes had a great game. Can’t really fault him tbh
-
It just occurred to me, Boks don't win their games they just make the other side lose.
But it seems to work for them so fair enough. -
All I can say is Fuuuuuuck we had our chances but could not convert them.
Well done Boks,
ABs did really well to hang in with 14 men
feel Pretty gutted Fozzie finally gave me hope but dashed again.
Nothing worse than the feeling of making a Final and then losing it. -
Where's Razor

Already plotting revenge. Let’s go!

Well that's twice we've been royally fucked by Barnes. We'll rant here, but all will be forgiven next year. If it had been the other way round the furore would have made the Bryce Lawrence abuse look tame.

Yup, but this has been a weakness of ours against the top teams.
Still Foster's team went a game further than I had a right to expect.
