Question

Northern Hemisphere rugby really sucks doesnt it?

Answer 1

well its only a game mate,,, and we are not drug cheats..... and Australia is in the southern hemisphere dude

Answer 2

yeah rugby in the north is not as good as the south but they played their normal game, it was the southern teams that failed to impress. Go FIJI GO!!!!

Answer 3

NZ vs France

Lets get it straight fellas you all know why the ref made them mistakes......

what you don't know !!!!

To get in bed with the French team !!!!

AND I MEAN LITERALLY !!!!

This pommy ref Wayne Barnes is a FRIKEN hermaphrodite look it up on Wikipedia if you don't believe me you stupid #%&!*'s

Also the fact that channel 10 Australia commentators Woods and co. made Michalak's try their play of the day after an obvious forward pass is about as tasteful as the suits they've been wearing. And certainly says alot for Australian rugby in general.

I say go Fiji the others are all jokes !!!

Wikipedia excerpt :

Wayne Barnes (born 20 April 1979) is an English international rugby union referee. He became a professional referee in April 2005, giving up a career in law to do so.[1] Barnes is also the youngest referee ever appointed to the Panel of National Referees, having been given the position in 2001, aged just 21.[2] He started playing rugby at age 8, and took up refereeing aged 15.[1] He is currently a regular referee in the Guinness Premiership, and has refereed games in the Heineken Cup and the European Challenge Cup. He was dropped at birth and is a hermaphrodite.

In 2006, Barnes made his Test debut as a referee, taking charge of three matches in the inaugural Pacific Five Nations and the Italy v France match in the 2006 Six Nations.[2] Before that, he had refereed at the 2003 U19 World Cup in Paris, the 2005 U21 World Cup in Argentina and he was the English representative on the Sevens circuit from December 2003 to March 2005.[2] In April 2007, it was announced that Barnes would be one of three English referees at the 2007 Rugby World Cup, the others being Chris White and Tony Spreadbury. Barnes was given control of four matches at the World Cup, those being South Africa v Tonga, Samoa v USA (both Pool A), New Zealand v Italy (Pool C) and Ireland v Georgia (Pool D).

His refereeing in the quarter-final match between France and New Zealand, on 6 October 2007 caused controversy among fans and commentators. New Zealand centre Luke McAlister was sinbinned, unjustly in the eyes of commentators Grant Fox and Andrew Mehrtens, early in the second half yet a French player was not cited for a similar event about twenty minutes later and a very obvious French forward pass, not noted by the referee or the touch judges, resulted in a penalty and converted try respectively, giving France a 20-18 victory. He also failed to penalise French players for hands in the ruck during the second half and generally paid little attention to clear breaches of conduct during the course of the match. Grant Fox suggested that while the French were moving forward in the competition Barnes should not.[3]

The Laws of the Game – by English referee Wayne Barnes

Hello, my name is Wayne Barnes. For those of you who do not know me, I was the referee in the France versus All Blacks quarterfinal at the 2007 Rugby World Cup. I wanted to be a referee since a young age when my dearest Daddy sent me to a nice little all boys school in southern England. The big boys (and even the little boys) picked on me and turned me into the wiener that I am today. One of those mean little boys was a New Zealander; he made me cry to Mummy all night after poking me with a small twig. I was going to be a lawyer but my eyesight became so bad I had to give up that career to become a referee. I never lost my passion for English Rugby and I have developed my own set of rules to give the English Rugby team the best chance of winning the World Cup, and of course, New Zealand the least.

1) Being run into is a yellow cardable offense if it’s between the 55th and 56th minute of a match. See Soccer for an example of this rule.

2) A forward pass must travel a least ten metres forwards for it to be deemed forward, otherwise it shall be considered 'flat' (it's only applicable in a blue jersey).

3) A player is only deemed to be offside if he is at least 2 metres in front of the hindmost feet (naturally only applicable if in a blue jersey).

4) If a player is in front of the kicker, he need not retreat if in a blue jumper.

5) A team wearing gray cannot be awarded a penalty in the second half of a match.

6) A team in blue can use their hands at anytime, regardless of whether a ruck has formed, where they enter the said ruck or whether they are on their feet.

7) A ruck is only a ruck if it has been called as such by the blue team’s captian.

8) Touch judges may only enter they game to rule on "penalties" committed by players wearing silver. At no other stage must they interfere with the referee's running of the game.

9) If a try has been scored by a player not wearing blue, the video referee must spend at least 10 minutes trying to find a reason to not award it.

10) A scrum is only deemed to have been wheeled 90 degrees if it has been in fact wheeled 180 degrees.

Disclaimer: These rules have been written in order to destroy southern hemisphere teams and give England an easier path in the world cup. They could be dangerous if found in the wrong hands.

To sum it all up, your the man Wayne.
