Serves him right

What are you talking about, the Italian player tackled tommy Bowe in the in goal area, Fact. Otherwise Tommy couldnt have been attempting to score the try. Secondly, the TMO rules on the Touch line OUTSIDE the in-goal area all the time. There is no way you can say the tackle was not fair game for the TMO to opinionate on.

As for the SWelsh game, well while he asked his TJ about the ball, he as you know, ref should probably have paid some attention to the three or four things that were wrong about the incident. Namely, use of wrong ball, taken ahead of where the ball had actually gone out, and the throwing player stepping in field to pass to Phillips. All reason why the event should never have happened. But I dont think that JK is racist because we lost that day and he made poor decisions. He just made poor decisions is all.

They must have been aware of the over robust play from every team they've played since their return to international competition then, because as far as I can see, they've been kicking possession back to the opposition like made men ever since.
