That ref is a nightmare.. giving everythong to usa... line out not straights, offside, fouls...

And as usuel we' re listing balls

How many high tacles not penalised ?

As a neutral, I would agree that the ref was very slack, but I disagree that it was one-sided. There were many times when he simply turned a blind eye to offences from both sides, and I thought that France were very lucky not to concede a yellow card for persistent offending close to the line in the first half.

That was just that three offences that didn't leader to a yellow card..

Rest of the times another story..

That high tacle on Raka would have deserved a red card.. didn' t even get a penalty. That was the spirit of those refs

Machenaud was very slow. Ref was letting the yanks lie all over the ball in the rucks and that didn't help speed up things.
However, ultimately,France was just not interested.
Picamoles is also not the man he used to be

Should've been a penalty try and a yellow when Picamoles chopped down the maul that was heading to the line. Sadly, the ref misplaced his testicles between putting his hand in his pocket and taking the card out.

Guys you are pointng out only one moment in the game.. which can be debattable coz yellows and penalty tries happen really rarely after such offences.

Then you don' t mention that almost no US line out was straight..one was so going on their side that they missed it.

They constantly lyed on the french field to slow the ball at ruck time, and how many offside , coming from the side, ? Raka's head almost chopped..not even a word ..

In the end :
Penalty count US : 4 ; France 10..
Funny that...
