Ok it's ranting time. (I seem to have being doing a lot of this lately)
I just wanted to say that I really really don't like the new scrum laws purely based on the inconsistency of the various referees.
I can't imagine how frustrated the front rows of each team must have been last night when bloody Wayne Barnes seemed to wait an eternity between each call... especially between 'Pause' and 'Engage' then kept punishing the Boks for early engagement.
Now I don't often complain when calls go our way like that... but in this case I thought it was really really unfair.
He seemed to get better in the second half, only when he screamed 'ENGAGE' at the top of his lungs so no one in the entire stadium couldn't say they didn't hear it.
How is it fair when some Refs do the 4 commands in very quick succession and other Refs like Barnes do it sooooo slowly?
Poor forwards... don't they have enough to worry about in the scrum already?!?
Ok. Rant over.
