Rabbo Pro 12 Final thread(Teams included)

First topic message reminder :

Right, now, we know the teams, we know the venue, how do we think this one will pan out ? Although there is less at stake, I think that this game will be a lot better than HC final, and with Leinster having home advantage, it is hard to look past a Leinster win, but the Ospreys have been to the RDS this season and won so they will not fear going to Dublin, also Tandy has come in and breathed fresh air into the squad, but I still think Leinster will win but it will be very close, probably just a score in it. So I am going for Leinster by 3pts.

Essai Penaltie?

Yellow card must be near.

Ospreys should go for the try that wide out.

That could have a penalty for either side. Plenty of infringements.

How many times is Poite going to tell Leo? When does he get the yellows out? penalty try coming?

If Leinster don't get a YC at some point I will be surprised.

Poites a nutter.

FFS REF!!!!

Pen try by now easily!!!!!!

Keep scrumming O's

There it is. Strauss?

And....its a yellow card.

Scrum again and get the penalty try surely

Should be a penalty try there really on top of the yellow.

Technically Rolland could have reffed this because they can say he's French.

That's Jones bringing the scrum down there. Poor call.

Merwe

Wtf was the yellow for. Come on Poite stop guessing.

Poite has suddenly realized he binned the wrong man?

Poite is an odd ball. Leinster have been getting bail-outs from him all game. Leinster very lucky in this game so far. Lucky try and lucky to not concede due to a pair fouls on their tryline.

O's never looked like scoring a try and it was hardly even a penalty looking at the replay both players went down together.

Rodders - I don't disagree with you...I'm lost with Poite. His pauses are way too long.

Got to be a penalty try coming.

This ref is bonkers.

Poite is loosing things here. He will be happy to see half time as well.

Come on just give the penalty try so I can get another Heino from the fridge.

Where's Nigel when you need him?

So who the hell is in the bin?

PENALTY TRY NOW FFS!!!!

Jesus christ Poite...

Penalty again! That is surely a penalty try!

Why can't you award a penalty try but another yellow card could be given???

Poite hasn't got a clue how to referee a front row. Not a clue. This is an utter shambles

HOLY MOLY

This is about 10 penalties at the scrum in a row.

Don't NORMAL referees award pen try after 3 scrums?

"i could award a card" what on earth is going on?

This is getting ridiculous.

'I cannot award a penalty try but i can give another yellow' WTF?

Poite threatens another yellow for the same scrum!

Hahaha, Adam Jones worth his weight in yellow cards

For once, we'll all be able to moan about the referee. This is the fifth infringement!

I've never ever seen anything like this. All the Leinster players will be sent off before he considers a pen try...

Ospreys will be very angry if they leave without 5/7pts.

Poite has lost the plot. Ospreys aren't going to get a penalty try so they should call a move of the scrum.

this is getting boring

Poite losing control a bit here.

Ospreys fishing for cards. Cynical play.

Last two brought down by ospreys.

getting your priorities right !

mon dieu Poite

You can't award a penalty try unless it looks like a try scoring opportunity has been stopped using foul play.A scrum going straight down is not a try scoring opportunity.

A penalty awarded to Leinster at the scrum????

There we are.

Poite is obviouly half Irish just like Rolland.

What a F*****G JOKE.

4 minutes off the sin bin and the Ospreys leave with nothing.

You just knew that was going to happen. Poite has been poor in this scrum.

Poite has no idea whats going on at scrum time

WHAT THE F*CK

That was the most ridiculous reffering decision at a scrum.

That is such a joke, how was that not a penalty try.

Madness. That is crazy.

Ospreys have themselves to blame though.

Well done Poite. You've single handedly reduced the Pro 12 final to a farce. F*ckwit.

Adam Jones is constantly dropping his shoulder and bringing the scrum down. It's about time Poite sorted that out. But he has to be decisive- very very poor refereeing all round.
