I'm all for taking the referee's side where possible and understanding that they have to make quick decisions under pressure, but Barnes misses so many big decisions. Ireland vs. Wales, no red card for Davies, an undeserved yellow card for Ferris for not even a penalty offense, Clermont vs. Leinster, Leo Cullen punch on prop, Cudmore charge on Isaac Boss, Clermont player flying headbutt and face / eye grabbing on Cullen and more. And now he's missed a massive tackle like that. »
They were booing a number of times when the referee quite clearly made the correct decision and sometimes just if they didn't like something that happened, even if it was legal. I'm pretty sure they were booing, etc. every time Sexton kicked, just once or twice they were particularly loud. »
