One man’s ramblings about the World’s most competitive egg chasing
Feeling slightly aggrieved this morning with that Blair Murray wonder-score.

Have no problem with it being disallowed, but then want consistency.

Feels like the Officials often referee to the perceived standard of the player/team involved.

See this try by Dupont in 2024:

No problem with the try being disallowed. Just want consistency.

Even this weekend, see below the line break that saw Moana Pasifika score vs. the Hurricanes.

To be clear, you are not allowed to jump to avoid a tackle; in-play, or in the act of scoring a try.

No objections to Blair Murray’s try being over-ruled. However, can’t shake the feeling that if it was Dupont, it would’ve been given.

See Jonny May’s try below:

Totally bewildered how this wasn’t looked at - phase before WG John yellow card, and Scotland’s try.

Jac Morgan asked referee to have a look for a knock-on. Ref said no.

Landed in Rome to news of White smoke and a deal between the WRU and the Regions.

Agreed financial plan for the next five years, leading to a salary cap of £6.8m+ in 2029.

Could this (and a result tomorrow) be the turning of a corner?

Optimistic? Or plasters over a water leak?

And here we see the need for the 25-cap rule, otherwise known as “Gatland’s law”.

A massive advantage of both England and Ireland is the ability to have three full extra weeks of training for the 6Nations.

Have had to switch off the Ospreys to protect my own mental health.

Managed to get down to Old Deer Park for Welsh v Camberley.
