The referees this 6 Nations have been outstanding.
It is a pity the Press don’t find space to publish their names with the team details.
The FA and such like football organisations must weep when they see real men not footy pansies play a hard game and show respect not petulance when a decision is made.
Didn’t think Peiper was consistant. Cost the Jocks the game! Hey Ho!
