@mikethesnow did the ref signal time on?

Nope.
That's what makes it even more glorious.

Did the ref tell England that time was going back on
Errr...he blew his whistle and signalled time on?

Errr... Biggar asked when time is back on, Ref said time is on to Biggar. Did not check if England were ready. Blew his whistle and then called "Time is on" when the ball was in flight.
Anyone can pick a hole here or there in the timeline but taken in whole it was a dreadful piece of refereeing and one that you'd all be spewing about if your team were on the arse end of it
-
Why on earth would the ref check if England are ready? He should check that they have had enough time to be ready, and he should call time on so both teams can hear, but the team that gave away the penalty don't get to decide when they're ready to play again.

Why on earth would the ref check if England are ready? He should check that they have had enough time to be ready, and he should call time on so both teams can hear, but the team that gave away the penalty don't get to decide when they're ready to play again.
@gibbonrib said in NH International Rugby:

Because he has specifically told their captain to go and talk to them
He should check that they have had enough time to be ready, and he should call time on so both teams can hear,
Which he didn't do. He told Biggar time on, whistled and then called time on in general when Biggar's kick was already in flight.

Agreed but that is not in argument

@catogrande England were meandering back into place and had definitely finished talking. It's not for the ref to tell them to hurry up and get in place.

Agreed but neither of those points are in argument. England were lackadaisical without doubt. However the ref tells you to talk to your team, he then tells you time is on which he didn't do in anyway near a correct manner.
You do know he's come out and admitted to making a mistake here right?

It's pretty damn near to a correct manner. England fucked up and thought a shot at goal was being taken, so fucked around after they'd finished chatting and decided to have a drink/walk. The ref can clearly see that so calls time on as the chat is over. If he's told you to go talk to your team and you've finished, you should expect time to be called back on.
The left side defence has the right idea.

@bones Mate, I think we'll have to agree to disagree as we are constantly arguing different points, in true Fern tradition I might add.

No I don't. I know that Jutge has given a rather rambling, unofficial statement suggesting that he said he'd made some errors, but nothing specific and nothing from Gauzere.

If you're saying that the ref has to wait until the infringing side are ready then you're saying that the infringing side get to decide when he can restart by going as slow as they like.
He gave them plenty of time, a few of them used it, the rest faffed around and cost their team 7 points.

I like that. Can't see how anyone can say the first try was bogus after watching that.
Something of a different perspective but still a shit show. Did England have enough time to get the message across? Of course. Did some of their guys fan out? Yes. Did the ref tell England that time was going back on? No. Did he tell Biggar that time was going on? Yes. Did he check that England were ready for time going back on? No.
Though I will concede that the last point is not a required action but it is one that is generally accepted.
However, time to move on. Neither of the two disputed tries were ultimately the reason we lost. Dumb and indisciplined play from us. Intelligent play from the Taffs. A deserved win (and come to that a deserved loss).

Farrell had stopped speaking to his players. Ten seconds later the ref blew his whistle and said time on. May had jogged to his wing. The Welsh water carriers were moving from the field of play. Watson and Ford were incredibly slow cover the wing. The kick was to perfection exposing their tardiness. Seeing all the angles, nowt wrong with that try and what the ref did.

I reckon all these retired English players moaning about it on TV have been spending too much time watching their kids playing under 8s with referee-coaches.
"Anthony. Anthony! Pay attention. You're the wing yeah, you should should standing over there near the line. Bit further...little bit more...that's it, well done. No, you need to turn around, face towards the boy with ball so you can see. That's right. OK, everyone ready now? Great, let's play! Time on"

Less rambling and more quite direct.The actual quote:
Joël Jutge, World Rugby’s Head of Match Officials, says Pascal Gauzere has acknowledged to him that he got both contentious first-half incidents wrong in Saturday’s Six Nations clash between Wales and England.

Nope. That's just wrong. He said time on to Bigger. Blew this whistle, Biggar took the kick and he then said "time iron" with the ball already in play. Have another look at the video.

You did say they don't get to decide. But you also said the ref has to wait until they're ready, which is basically the same thing.
Common sense says give them enough time to get ready - which he clearly did - and then restart.
It seems that the most the ref can be accused of doing wrong is saying "time on" too quietly. I don't know much about wing play, but I really think what went wrong had a little bit more to do with Watson being 30 metres out of position than Gauzere speaking too softly

He said "I'd be livid if I was Owen Farrell", but that's just a fundamental truth. You could hardly be Owen Farrell if you weren't. Its like saying "I'd swim a lot if I was a fish"

I have seen the video, thank you. Time is on when the ref blows his whistle. Elliot Daly was already on the other wing by that point. The ref doesn't have to wait for all the defending team to get back in position when the attacking team awarded a penalty want to play. The game goes at the speed of the ref's whistle.
