I can roll with that. Looks fine for the semi.

Trouble is that it is definitely lining up either Barnes or Poite for the Final. My guess is a farewell pressie to Barnes.

I'd quite happily take Barnes for the final because that means we are in it.

It won't be Poite, but Garces if a Frenchie.

O'Keeffe? He's been shit too.

Graham Hughes has been the best TMO so I am very surprised he isn't one of the Wales-SA officials.

The games I've seen I thought he was quite good. Not perfect, but most refs miss things. Probably penalised because he wasn't a car waving maniac during the pool phase.

Easily. Understands physics, doesn't get flustered.

So has Jaco had a slap on the wrist?, would have at least expected him as an Assistant

Certainly looks like that photo has resulted in a break.
Was a bit silly with Wales still in the comp.
Maybe when they get knocked out he will get a AR job

I think his non selection anywhere suggests he got a slap across the face.

[Godder]

Owens is fine, he at least won't get stage fright.

You reckon that photo is real? He has been stood down? Could he be that stupid?

Serious questions. I really don't know.

Yeah, it's pretty shocking Garces is still there, let alone in charge of a match. He's the worst fucken ref at the cup alongside Raynal. WR just love throwing their fingers up eh.

[Bovidae]

@Bones Alain Rolland is selecting refs in his own image.

Peyper getting punished for being a good ref. They must think Jackson is excellent!

I thought Garces was excellent in the QF, for what it's worth.

Well yeah but you're probably coloured by your teams performance. Or more likely your coach's.

[barbarian]

Of course, but wouldn't that lead me to think he was shit?

Definitely not in comparison.

I reckon Peyper was in line to ref our game before elbowphotogate

I'm delighted to get Nige again. I'm surprised Barnes didn't get the other game (World Rugby said the refs chosen were best of the best), but he will get the final I reckon if England don't beat us. Nige is a rugby man, who knows what fans want (a free-flowing game, decided by the players and not the ref). Yes, he has the odd call, but he is never biased, and never hasty with the cards.

AGree. Not complaining though, much prefer Owens who is only caught up in didn'tcomethroughthe-gate.

disappointed that Nick Berry not involved in the knockouts. Thought he's been refereee of the tournament.

In a statement, the governing body said: “World Rugby can confirm that the match officials selection committee did not consider Jaco Peyper for selection this weekend. Peyper recognises that a picture of him with Wales fans, which appeared on social media after the Wales versus France quarter-final, was inappropriate and he has apologised.”
