Difficult to argue that Walsh wasn’t biased against Wellington.
I thought Barnes’s performance in the match was pretty good overall. Of course there were countless calls that could be argued, but that happens in every match. One notable reason it was such a good match was the absence of the recent trend where referees seem to decide they automatically have to give yellow cards in order to control the match.
Clearly the way replays are currently being used in international rugby is a joke, and needs to be clarified urgently.
A nation that wasn’t insecure would have let go of the Barnes 2007 incident shortly after the tournament. That’s what this is all about (from the media, not necessarily from you).
