I think that the vast majority of this thread has been about Bentham and that tells you everything you need to know about what has gone on tonight.

how have Ireland kept it down to 32-0 against 14 men?

Irish are tiring and dropping off the tackles. And they will lose one to the bin in the next five as Bentham has just spoken to Finn. The scoreboard is gonna tick over a little in final 20 mins.

"Referee in constantly favouring Australia" shocker.

Totally ruined my enjoyment of this. I'm now concentrating on what he gives and where he doesnt

ireland dominate collision in defence

bentham - MOVE MOVE MOVE MOVE

FFS bentham.

Why didn't he call held on Richards there?

Same as and because of it I have missed some very good rugby.

Even Vossy is taking the p1ss out of Bentham.

Bentham is a curse on mankind.

I believe for the World Cup, Tim Sheens is going to request two referees for the AUstralia v New Zealand match.

I assume these will be Bentham and Silverwood.....

i'm done with this match now - just totally fed up with bentham, any hope the irish had has been destroyed

And people have the gall to complain about Thierry Alibert......

Tonight we have witnessed a travesty, a dark night for the game of rugby league.

What was supposed to be a game to showcase the sport to the (few) people from ireland who turned up.

Instead we've been ''treated'' to a massacre. A railroad from start to finish. Orchestrated by (we'll use an imaginary person) Bill Pentham.

Bill has been a disgrace to the sport tonight. Ruining what could have beena decent game. The plucky ireland have been penalised out of the game.

If I had the power i'd nail the victicious character of ''Bill'' to the wall.

That piece of sh*t would never referee a game again and his career would be over.

Gutless worm.

Say what your really feel Flex, don't be generous in your praise of the Bill.
