Ireland u20 6 nations and world championship 2022

The referee allowing the TMO to make decision there. She appeared to feel he was wrong but didn't have the confidence to challenge his view.

I didnt compare her to anyone. She has made several mistakes. If she wants to learn on the job it should be done at a much lower level. This is definitely not the place for her to do it and could do her development more harm than good.

She should be taken off for a HIA.

She got in the way of the play again and had to jump on the floor. Her positioning is brutal.

Can a ref be replaced at HT?

I've reffed too. She has been terrible so far and someone else pointed out she was poor in a previous game.

Not good enough to say "well at least she hasnt cost anyone the game"

Thats nonsense.

I'd like to see the stats on how many tackles the Welsh props have missed. You can see their numbers on every replay of the Irish breaks.

Why? if it was a male ref making these mistakes he'd be crucified. Why should she get special treatment.

At that last scrum did the ref just say to the players "we didnt have any issues for 60mins now we're having loads of issues sort it out" ???

I think she's a case of 'wanting to be a referee'

She just doesnt know how to referee. I blame the people who handed her this game regardless of her lack of ability.

I'd be amazed if we see her again at this level.

Wales were awful. You’d have to worry about the future of the game there. Their U20s haven’t delivered in any way in years and it’s not like their Regions are going to develop them into top class Test players.

For our part it was good to see us looking to play so much. The pace we were looking to go at them with and the fact that we were willing and able to use the full width to stretch them but also able to go up the guts was pleasing. Given the lack of game time these guys will have had due to Covid the accuracy was good too. But we’ll have to wait until next week to get a real sense of where this side is.

Hard to know what to make of that but it's always fun beating the welsh. Thought our forwards looked a little light but wales couldn't move us in the scrum or meet us at the gain line - they couldn't handle any change in direction and their tackling techniques were poor.

Boyle was a super watch, really powerful for his size

Campbell looked classy and dangerous with ball in hand before he got injured.

Thought McCormick and Wilson went well enough as well.

Found the focus on the ref a bit weird, made couple of bad decisions at the very start and I think everyone just blew any minor quibble out of proportion after that - thought the disallowed tries were correct and quite frankly wales were penalty machines, I couldn't believe how undisciplined they were - the 4 was in at the side in almost every maul.
