Concept T shirts Reviews

Wales were robbed of a draw against Italy. The referee told the players they had long enough left to kick to touch and then take the line out, so they did that (because they were going for the win) instead of kick a penalty which would have given them the draw.  And when the ball went out for the lineout, the referee blew for time. A blatant contradiction of what he had said to the players. If they had known that there wasn’t time they would have taken the 3 points.

The problem seems to be an unexpected result of introducing more than one referee - who is actually in charge of calling the time? Surely it is the ref on the pitch and if he has said there is x seconds left then there has to be.  It must now be made clear to officials that the ref is totally in control.

So what about Wales? What recompense can be made to them? They most definitely have had a draw stolen from them - and in sport careers and jobs depend on results.

Replay the match!
