The ref wasn't French, his father is though. Alain Rolland is Irish, he's even played for Ireland, Scrum half i think. He can speak fluent French too.

Fact the referee Alan Rolaund was born to a French Father and is a fluent French speaker

How the F"""""k did this come about

Ask any player former or current should he have been sent off for making that tackle

As for the team and the missed kicks nad chances well I am proud to say I am Welsh after playing Three Quarters of the game a man down and outplaying the other team,,brilliant,missed kicks one hit the post and one from the half way line,lets face it we wasnt meant to win it

Iv'e just been reading about the same thing on another forum, according to them the ref didn't have a choice. The IRB told the refs to be strict on the spear/tip tackle before the World Cup began.

yes i agree something need to be done about the ref's not being allowed to ref a game where they may because of there nationality favor one team over another

weather subconsciously or not this would also take away any suspicion from any WRONG decisions they made either in favor or by being to harsh against there own

by trying to show how fair they were to the opposition team not rocket science and would benefit all

the players the game and the refs

allain rowland is paid by the french the fru

but he didnt spear him .he picked him up yes .but he didnt spear him .the momentum took him of the floor and he was dumped but this happens in every game .to have speared him he had to drive him headfirst inthe ground .this never happened there was no intent in the tackle

[keeper 51 78]

this Irish ref ALAIN COLM PIERRE ROLLAND should have been used for the wales ireland game that way we would not have made it through to the french match

but what would have happened then god only knows

and whilst i accept that the refs had a directive to enforce the law on tip tackles severely

they were also directed to make an objective assessment of the overall circumstances of the tackle

hey even though i am welsh and bound to be bias i can honestly say that in my opinion there was not malice or intent by sam to do this player damage

if you ever need to see this horrific type of tackle check out Brian o'driscoll being spear tackled in the 2005 lions tour of new zeland

yellow card yes no problem the man was not injured

had he have been injured even though it was in my opinion it was a genuine mistake had he then been red carded i would have no axe to grind

to cover himself the ref could have used the t.m.o this would show no malice was intended he could also called in the two assistant refs

the ref was a total fu*king gutless wan*er

He was that badly injured he was up on his feet in minutes,considering the time that had gone and without any incidents,in My opinion and Yes I am biast because Iam Welsh The referee should have taken that into account,a yellow card would have been harsh.

 

 

Yellow card for Fabrice Estebanez for a dangerous tackle. France down to 14 men, but as the time slips away Tonga's World Cup hopes dwindle

 

Says it all dont it talk about consistency

[Ossie n Arch 1,682]

Here's the link, some guy on there seems to know the rule about Spear/Tip tackle really well. According to him, the IRB informed Referees to work from a Red card down for tackles when the legs of the tackled player go above his head during the tackle. Thats what happened when Warburton made the tackle. Didn't it ??

 

I think he was unlucky to be sent off, but the sending off wasn't the reasom Wales lost, it didn't help, but not the reason. Any one of the missed kicks going over and they would be in the final.

 

 

You'll need to scroll down a bit to find it.

Our missed kicks cost us, there's no doubt about that. I was confident when Hook was named at 10, but looking back the loss of Preistland in the form he was in was a big one.

 

Never mind, a bronze placed play off against the Aussies to look forward too next friday morning, so it's not quite over.

 

I just hope Wales can carry their momentum over into next years Six Nations, should make for an exiting tournament.

[JohnGalway 1,043]

Listening to a discussion on the radio about the sending off. Apparently, if a player get's another player into the air, it is that players responsibility to get him safely to the ground without dropping him or driving him into the ground.

 

He was clearly dropped.

 

The shit kicking by Wales is what lost them the game, not the sending off.

John you are right, but if they went about applying the letter of the law to every tackle made in a game of rugby you'd be playing rugby 7's by the end of the first half!

[JohnGalway 1,043]

They should Malt! I think he's an excellent ref, it's the rest of them that f**k it up by not applying the rules of the game consistently so then here we are with a situation where people bitch about the ref giving the player at fault his medicine.

 

I've no problem with any player getting the shove if he's doing what he shouldn't be.

that's very interesting it will be good to see this so from now on any player that takes another of his feet in a tackle and fails to lower him to the ground

in a safe manner will be sent off

well hears to a world cup of touch rugby :rofl:
