Well, that level of refereeing was straight out of the Wizard of Oz. Joubert not only is in need of heart, brain and courage. He introduced a new character, the one in need of a backbone(jellyfish). He didn't ask the fourth official to help qualify his decisions, he asked him to make the decisions for him. I always thought it a good idea to have the ability to check you were making the right choices. But to delegate your responsibility completely is IMO shamefull, he spent more time talking to the fourth official than the teams.
After ranting, the game. As an Englishman I was pleasantly suprised by how dominant we were in the first half in particular, but our inability to capitalise with points on the board was a real worry. It reinforces the difference between the southern and northern hemisphere game. If we can't finish(royal we), were never going to be able to compete with our cousins below at a serious level. Yes I know this is the six nations, but it's supposed to strengthen our national teams, and give them a platform to work off of in terms of matching ourselves against the rest of the world.
Regardless of how it sounds, I enjoyed todays game, just can't help looking at the bigger picture.
