Has anyone asked Sir Clive how he would like his crow cooked?

So which refs get the semis?
With Jaco down and Uncle Mat being rubbish, is it as simple as BOK does SA v ENG and Barnes does NZ v ARG, or will the Georgian boy/Dickson/Pearce/Gardner/Berry come into the reckoning?
In past tournaments, the QF refs have done the semis.

@Bovidae said in Rugby World Cup general discussion:
Don't forget Raynal. Joël Jutge might make a hometown decision.
Uncle Mat (I like the colloquial name after he gifted us the win last year)... Barnes is on track for the final, lets be fair. Chances are NZ will get him semis and final (if we get there).
I think the English boys are probably out the running because Barnes will get one won't he...
Down to O'Keeffe, Raynal, Amashukeli and the two Aussies for SA v ENG.
- The latter two have dropped right out the running I think
- IMO, if Raynal gets it, then it should be BOK, because I do think he largely did a pretty good job in what was a bloody tough game to officiate this morning. Also think it is a fair clue the fact he did that game suggests he is ahead in the pecking order, because Barnes could have done that game, and we could have had Raynal/Peyper
- Georgian boy is the major wild card, but I can't see it

that's insane odds for knock-out rugby.

I get the first two, but I've never found Biggar to be on the same level, have I missed something?

He has a rep for abusing his teammates.

Is that enough? Some well loved ABs of the past would meet that criteria.

I know it’s easy to forget Scotland but Finn Russell has been known to be difficult too.
Contrast that with DC, Beaver, Beaudy etc who you’d happily buy a beer for at the pub

Up early on my way to the ski show in Birmingham
Still can’t believe yesterday’s action
Huge from NZ to beat Ireland, especially with 14 men for 60 mins
Ireland have had a tremendous Plan A for 17 matches straight but when it wasn’t good enough they had no Plan B
And our mob
I’m really disappointed
Argentina never gave up fair play, but we gift wrapped them that victory complete with a pretty bow at the end
@MiketheSnow was only 20 mins with 14. We are however used to it being 60 ...
