Subscribe to Brian Moore's Full Contact podcast for free: https://www.playpodca.st/fullcontact Round two of the Autumn Nations Series is in the books and England got their campaign off to a perfect start with a routine win over Tonga at Twickenham. Joining former England hooker Brian Moore to reflect on their performance is the former England, Newcastle and Toulon centre Tom May. The build up to England's game was dominated by who would wear the #10 shirt and in the end it was neither Owen Farrell or Marcus Smith! George Furbank started the game but Smith was the name on everyone's lips after the Harlequins star lit up Twickenham in his second half cameo. We discuss what role Smith will have once everyone is fit and firing and if Eddie Jones would be willing to drop captain Owen Farrell to accommodate him. We also round up the rest of the weekend's action as Scotland make it three wins from three over Australia, Wales have their chances of winning ruined by a pitch invader and Ireland put nine tries past Japan in Dublin. Plus we hear from England Women's coach Simon Middleton after his side thumped New Zealand for the second week in a row, thus cementing their status as the number one ranked side in the world.

Another massive game played where bad officiating cost a team a game. I'm at a loss for how bad officiating has become. In this video I wanted to showcase 2 big talking points. The first one was a clear forward pass from Sale Sharks that happened in front of the ref. But for some strange reason, he deemed it okay even though it was clear and obvious that the ball went forward out of the hands. The 2nd talking point was the last try that Sale scored where there was enough evidence to prove Raffi Quirke was guilty of double movement before scoring the try. It's astonishing that the TMO and Ref can make use of replays and still find ways to make the wrong decision. It was clear that Quirke's knee hit the ground when he was way short. His downward movement allowed him to only place the ball once. As he went down and placed the ball, he was well short. He then reaches out again to score, which he was not allowed to do. The last angle also clearly shows how he uses his forearm and hips to crawl forward, before he places it the 2nd time. More proof that is was double movement. Yet, the ref and TMO deemed he was okay and awarded the try. How many games must be lost because of atrocious officiating before refs can be held accountable? There seems to be a massive problem with Northern Hemisphere officiating. I've pointed that out multiple times with how bad it is in the United Rugby Championship.
