Dear World Rugby... Are These Paid Professionals??? | South Africa vs England Autumn Series 2022
World Rugby, you have got to stop this. How on earth do you explain the performances of Angus Gardner and Ben Whitehouse last night? Last night in the Springboks vs England game in the 2022 Autumn Nations Series we witnessed what happens when you put a incompetent ref and combine it with an equally incompetent TMO, the results were astonishing. The amount of mistakes and miscalls they made was incredible, I don't even know where to start. Let's just start with the 2 tries. With the Kurt-Lee Arendse try, how was that try not reviewed? First off we have a clear case of blocking where Arendse changes his lane after seeing where the England chaser is, which blocks him just enough for Willemse to step outside and create a break. Then Willemse makes a very questionable pass that looked forward to me. So we've got 2 incidents that would've meant no try to SA, yet they didn't even officially review it. Angus asked the TMO to check it quickly and within 3 seconds Ben Whitehouse responded that it was okay. Such a big moment in the game, the TMO takes 3 seconds to award I try. I'm not convinced he even checked the replays. Even if we're only looking at the Willemse pass, you can see the direction of his hands are forward, and would explain why the pass looked forward. Yet, there was no review. But let's skip ahead, let's look at Eben Etzebeth's try. Again, how on earth does that not get reviewed? Let's forget about the sealing off before the try, let's just focus on the try itself. The ball gets lost forward by Faf de Klerk, Eben is offside and off his feet, yet he picks the ball up despite being offside and off his feet, he then proceeds to score. There could've been 3 penalties against Eben but instead the ref didn't see any of it, same with the TMO. Now the question is, how on earth can Ben Whitehouse be a TMO if he clearly has no idea about the laws? What the hell. The only good thing they did that entire game was the red card for Thomas du Toit, there was no defending that. It was a reckless tackle and they dealt with it correctly. But in saying that, then there were 2 other incidents where Bongi takes a shoulder to the head, he appeals to the ref, the ref shuts him down. Siya Kolisi then goes to the ref, tells him about it. And Angus just tells him he didn't see it, so unless the TMO says something he can't do it. Which is lies of course. Anyhow, then we have Ben Whitehouse doing nothing. He didn't event check it. Then there was also the last moment of the game where the England lock comes from the side of a ruck and lifts Jaden Hendrikse by his lower limb, and then flips him through the horizontal. Now this happens directly in front of the ref, and he ignores it. Only 30 seconds later after the AR tells him about it, he blows his whistle. Then to make it worse, they don't even check it on replay. It should've been a yellow at least, but they just did nothing. This was probably one of the worst officiated games of the year. Games like this shows why Rassie did what he did. This can't continue. Eddie Jones should rather fight with Rassie than against him with this issue. Coaches seriously need to start working together and calling out World Rugby's protocols regarding match officials, else we're never going to see improvement
Dear World Rugby... WTF Did We Just Watch??? | South Africa vs Ireland Autumn Series 2022
The title says is it all to be honest, I've never seen a referee be as one sided as this game. I was absolutely dumbfounded after watching the South Africa vs Ireland game, it was supposed to be a massive clash between two giants of the game, yet all we got was the referee making mistake after mistake after mistake. Also conveniently all those mistakes happened to go against the Springboks, the ref simply ignored anything that Ireland did wrong. Where to start? How about Ireland's first try, let's look back a few moments before that. Kolbe goes for an up and under, which South Africa regathers when Pieter-Steph Du Toit takes it, and loses it backwards, yet the ref somehow says that South Africa lost it forward, so he gives scrum to Ireland. SO let's go to the scrum, they have the feed. The springboks pressures their scrum, their scrumhalf is under massive pressure and in the process of trying to pass, Jaden Hendrikse hits his arm and he knocks the ball on. Yet, the ref somehow says Hendrikse lost it forward. So Ireland gets the the scrum again, the get the feed. Immediately after the feed, their Tight head collapses the ball, his head hits the ground immediately, while Steven Kitshoff is still up because he did nothing wrong. Yet, the ref somehow makes up a penalty and says Kitshoff went down, despite the evidence completely contradicting what the ref saw. So 3 crucial mistakes in quick succession, surely it can't get worse, but it does. Ireland gets the Lineout, off the lineout the ball goes to Sexton, who gives a massive forward pass when he got hit by Jesse Kriel, the ref just ignores it. They then go on to get another penalty which leads to their first try. So 4 crucial mistakes by the ref, all against the Springboks, gives Ireland a free try. Then later in the game the following happens. Ireland kicks the ball, Damian Willemse regathers it, he gets tackles. Ireland now tries to counter ruck with their hooker, Dan Sheehan, who then puts his boot out and kicks the ball out of the ruck. Ireland then regathers, and goes on the counter attack. The ball goes to their prop, Andrew Porter, who gives a questionable pass that looked forward, to Finlay Bealham, who passes it to the backline. This whole move ends up in Ireland scoring their 2nd try by the likes of Mack Hansen. The ref then asks the TMO to just check if they didn't go in touch when they turned the ball over at the ruck. He completely ignores the ball being kicked out or the potential forward pass. Then the ref's inconstancy truly showed it's colors at the end of the game. Franco Mostert makes tackle, he then gets up to start counter rucking, while counter rucking, he kicks the ball out the exact same way as Dan Sheehan. Eben Etzebeth picks the ball up with nobody in front of him and support players to the right of him. Yet, the ref penalizes Franco Mostert for kicking the ball out. So how on earth can the ref defend his decision if he complete ignored it when Ireland did it? How is it possible for an international referee to be this one sided in a massive game like this? Dear World Rugby, You should be embarrassed by the performances of Nikola Amashukeli, Stuart Terheege and Andrea Piardi. The only one who remotely deserves any praise is the one French AR, Mathieu Raynal.

Dear World Rugby...That Was Disgraceful! | Springboks vs Australia 2022
What I saw today from Paul Williams was absolutely disgraceful. He was single handedly the reason the Springboks lost that game. We absolutely dominated Australia the first half and had the possession and territory, but absolutely got nothing as Paul Williams decided the game has different rules for the two teams. But that aside, the most shocking moment in the whole game happened at the end of the first half. It started with Mapimpi getting the ball on the sideline and sprinting to score an easy try. But then Marika Koroibete comes in recklessly and shoulder charges Mapimpi with no arms, which results in Mapimpi losing control of the ball and not scoring the try. The ref then just says it was a knock on and completely ignores Damien Willemse who asked about the tackle. To make it worse, they keep on showing replays and different angles and every single one of the angles show the same thing, a reckless shoulder charge. This was as close as you can get to a penalty try and yellow card but for some reason, the TMO and Ref did not even see this as a penalty. How on earth is Paul Williams an international ref, if he misses this? Then to make things absolutely worse, the the next thing happens. It's a scrum for Australia and Faf is trying to pressure Nic White. He then tries to swipe at the ball, but lightly struck Nic on the chin. It was barely a touch, but then Nic White goes full soccer mode and absolutely milks it. The ref then goes to the TMO and they check the replays and watch it over and over in slow motion. They then come to the conclusion that this incident is a yellow card, which is absolutely ridiculous. The reaction from Siya Kolisi and Faf de Klerk after hearing the ref say yellow card, is how every single fan reacted when it was said. It was a complete joke. Nic White should be ashamed of himself and appologize to rugby fans and Faf de Klerk about that. As for Paul Williams and the TMO. How on earth are these two allowed to officiate in a game of this caliber? If they make mistakes like this, how are they allowed to be at this level? It's absolutely disgraceful from World Rugby
