Seemed to ignore the laying on, shoulders charges and head shots from York, then pulled us for holding down. Don't think Toulouse will approach the game in the same way, some may be ok
He let way too much ride in that first 30 minutes. I have no issues with a ref letting play run and mostly prefer it but if a teams trying to take advantage of that like York did then the whistle should come out. I get what the refs try to do though in playoff rugby and let it play.
I recall the set that York were repeatedly holding down with Trinigy players fighting to get up and him gesturing them to play ball (with York players still on them). Then the next set gives a very soft holding down for a trinity player having a single hand on a York player.
The crowd got on his back early after he let a lot fly.
To be honest I think we’ve been reffed harsher than championship clubs this season. Countless times we play closer to SL pace and are slowed down but allowances seem to be given to the opposition many cases. Would be interesting to see over season how many penalty counts we have won.
With being on front foot most games you’d expect more than 50% but it feels far less.
Maybe I have it wrong. It’s just the way it comes across.
I’ve nothing against Moore or other refs. It’s a tough job and I respect them going out there to do it. But I don’t always agree with how games are reffed inconsistently that’s all.
