The fear is that they turn to the second string that just beat them.Hoofhearted wrote: ↑May 17th, 2022, 3:18 pm Tough spot this for Munster. If they come fully loaded as expected and win against an under strength Leinster team its expected, if they lose to our second string.... where do they turn then?
This is the 6th time in the last 9 Leinster-Munster games to have a Munster branch ref in the middle.fourthirtythree wrote: ↑May 17th, 2022, 12:32 pmYeah we did and it was... not good.

I'm open to correction but I think he has refereed Leinster 9 time. We have won only 4 so 44%. I would imagine that our overall win ratio over the same timeframe is around 80%.leinsterforever wrote: ↑May 17th, 2022, 3:46 pm I'm sure he'll be professional about it, but I did groan when I saw his name. He's just not a very good ref. But hopefully he'll have one of his better games.
Anyone have the stats for Leinster's win/loss ratio with him in charge?

Woeful ref, the best refs IMHO are the ones whose names you only partially remember. They go about the job don't make any egregious decisions and let the game flow with minimal input. Frank Murphy ain't that refleinsterforever wrote: ↑May 17th, 2022, 3:46 pm I'm sure he'll be professional about it, but I did groan when I saw his name. He's just not a very good ref.

He falls at nearly all of the classic referee failings:leinsterforever wrote: ↑May 17th, 2022, 3:46 pm I'm sure he'll be professional about it, but I did groan when I saw his name. He's just not a very good ref. But hopefully he'll have one of his better games.

A truly awful Ref.
small mercies, although it's taken years of therapy to erase him from my memory..........
