@Bovidae Wayne Barnes in a WC quarter final.... here we go.

[ARHS]

Not Carley as ref nor Cronan as tmo. That is a blessing. But seems odd and unfair they all English and none from Southern hemisphere.

[Bovidae]

@ARHS I think they work as teams. All NZ for France-SA.

Very happy Jonker isn't the TMO.

Well, well, well.... the ref's board has a sense of humour...

[voodoo]

I’m genuinely happy to have Barnes

[stodders]

@NTA redemption awaits

[thelemmning70]

No issue with Barnes. Everyone makes mistakes and sure he would go back and change things if he could... Generally I find him a good ref.

[MajorPom]

As a referee, Barne is very good. I just wish he'd shut up.

And I absolutely hate his Try Given / Try Awarded bullshit.

No, the try was scored. Your job isn't to award/give it. It's to point it out.

Could be worse.

[pakman]

Carley? At least ABs had experience of Barnes against Uruguay. Perhaps it's time for him to right historic RWC quarters wrongs?

Do Yaapies pronounce Jo as Wa?

[Chris]

Barnes is not a bad choice for us, thankfully no Jonkers or Dickson.
Carley with the flag hopefully he doesn’t get involved much.

I thought Barnes was bloody good in the Uruguay game.

[Billy Tell]

So the top refs are Barnes, peyper, BOk and Raynal. The Georgian is nowhere as far as I can see, not even a touch judge. I’m a bit surprised.

[KiwiMurph]

@Billy-Tell who knows they may be holding back Pearce or the Georgian for a semi final.

compared to the rest of you fuckwits - who can't organize a piss-up in a brewery

Now if there was one insult directed towards Fern posters that was highly unlikely, my vote would be on this one. Not saying it would be a very civil piss-up, mind.

Me too

He's been excellent and is neutral (no skin in the game) going forward
