We've got full time officials on both sides of the world and the standard they show is not what would be expected of full time officials. Not so much in fitness but in terms of moral courage, which is sorely lacking.

Perenara looks lost, clueless.

Tip tackle and the feckin ref wasn't going to call it until the TJ did.

DISGRACE

Are the Samoans gonna be able to field a side in the QFs if they all get put on report tonight?

For those not watching, Samoa have had one in the bin and have 3 on report.

That was poor from the officials. Take a report if you don't see it ref. on report is such a massive cop out

He's going to bruise his forearms if he keeps putting people on report.

Looks like he's advertising the X Factor.

huit metres forward, v funny

It's going to take a player getting paralyzed/killed before referees grow a pair and start making decisions not cop outs.

If someone get's badly injured, it's on your head parranara (however you spell his name).

Why has agar stuck with Baille?

Glad the officials went off after the teams and the crowd made it very clear what they thought of them.

If France play the conditions better in the second half they've got a chance...

World cup semi finals and onwards to be reffed by snakes as no backbone is required to get the plum ties. Imagine Aus v Eng in the final. Which impartial referee would get that gig?

Clue: He's reffing tonight.
