I've already seen some calls about the ref Silverwood having a shocker. He isn't actually doing too bad, it's his video ref and touch judge (who I think gave the nod for Clare knocking on the high ball early on that wasn't touched by him) that have let him down massively here.
Silverwood did make some calls early on for obstruction that clearly were obstruction, but because they didn't result in a try it wasn't open to the VR to judge those and he got to the right conclusion on his own.
Unfortunately decisions are made by letters of the law instead of ref's using common sense and basic game knowledge. I'm ok with the Bowen shoulder charge, letter of law, wrong. Reality it was ok for me.
