Scotland should've been playing against 14 men but they ended up playing against 16.
Headbutting someone on the ground is a red card yet the ref & TMO somehow treated it as if it was head contact in the tackle.
Unsurprisingly, the French TV director showed only one quick replay then nothing. If a Frenchie had been headbutted you can guarantee we'd have had every conceivable angle multiple times. They did likewise for any other moments that might've gone against France.
There was a moment in the second half when Scotland asked the referee if another headbutt had occurred & the ref said "we aren't going to look at that" but then moments later went to the TMO to check a Scottish forward lifting a French leg a ruck.
The ref let it get to him & he was a lapdog to the FFR for the rest of the match.
This just highlights how poorly rugby, as a sport, is run.
For those complaining about White's "antics" a headbutt to the face is painful. Personally I doubt he was play acting but I guess we'll never know.
Carley is dreadful. Always has been. One of the worst in what is already a poor bunch in the Prem refs group (along with Tempest, and Dixon). International quality he is not. I always groan when I see he's reffing a Tigers game as you know he'll decide the result a d not the players

Well, England beat them...
Yeah, that was a weird game. I think France's decision to play with a greased up piglet rather than a rugby ball cost them in the end.
England tonight looked like they believed they could beat anyone
Believing and doing are two different things.Â
I agree that Carley is a rubbish ref.

He is definitely one of the ones you groan at when you see he is reffing a game you will be watching.
I blame the ref for the Welsh loss.............I mean he started the game 😄
