  • i think it’s a little comfort blanket for Wynne.

    Frenetic it may have been, but that description comes freighted with the built-in assumption that this is a good thing. I know the NLIs are meant to be the best thing since sliced bread for rugby, but some purposeful changes of pace, consideration and tactical thinking should be part of the picture.

    Corey Flynn did not throw crooked for which he was penalised.

    Wonder if Henry will still say that he thought Joubert & Co were excellent?

    Wonder if SARU will now go into meltdown when they see SA refs copping flak but Irish/NH refs getting away scot free?
