The Munster Rugby Thread 24/25

[How bad boy]

Never reffed offside

Thought at least one of the crooked lineout calls was wrong, would have questioned his reffing of the scrum and there were a few high hits that deserved at least a penalty

Not much of a ref anyway, that is one thing for sure.
I mean if you are doing your job properly then you should know it inside out.

It's just basic knowledge really, to the extent you stop the game for a second and ask for clarification on the requirement for the scrum. Some TMOs are happy to jump I for every little thing, in La Rochelle the TMO was calling knock ons for Piardi.

 

[Barry K O Bama]

Piardi is a professional referee.

He does not have a decent knowledge of the laws/rules of the game.

He forced us to play 14 mins with 14 men.
He failed to disallow their try when they fouled the tap and go
He called a crooked throw against us even though Bulls didn't compete.

It's an absolute farce to have vital games decided on gross incompetence.

Players, management and supporters deserve better.

Piardi and tge TMO must be fired.

You can't do a crooked throw beyond the 15, whether they challenge or not. You're correct about everything else. Piardi not knowing the rules is pathetic.

Piardi will not ref next weekend, that'll teach him :

URC referee pays the price for Munster mare as Nigel Owens' call for 'accountability' is heard

Italian referee Andrea Piardi will not officiate a United Rugby Championship fixture this weekend after his handling of Munster v Bulls.

Oh, well that's fine, so.


What a pile of shite.

He'll be one of the officials for either of the European finals or URC final. Mark my words.
They take care of their own.

Ridley had a nice soft landing after the debacle at the end of the France-Italy game two seasons ago where France tried to charge down a penalty.

1st choice back line. When did we last see this ?

Good forwards too.

Should get 5 pts here provided we sort the line out

You can have an argument about Daly/Abrahams/Haley but yeah, damned near as strong as it gets.

Milne turning up is very well timed, as they're back to bringing in academy players with Foxe.
I suspect Kleyn on the bench is to add a bit of weight to help out that front row for the last 20-30 mins
