If he keeps making a few wrong decisions, we could shout "Richard cockerill is watching you"

Matthew Carley from England this weekend, has the honour of being the first ref who used the ref cam live.

Lets keep our good record going plenty of banter no abuse. polite applause at the end of the match.

We prob should have a Funniest thing heard from the terraces prize, will bring it up at the next meeting. :lol:

Ben Whitehouse Wales RU (swansea I think) makes his Pro12 debut tonight, lets let him concentrate on his game and make it an enjoyable experience.

If youre going to shout something at him at least make it funny !!

Whatever about giving out about a ref's decision, there were some distasteful comments about their appearance. That's just a bit much

Yeah, it's easy to be good when things are going you way. Let's try and be respectful if things aren't!

Just giving this another bump, regardless of how the ref does , no personal abuse and no booing at half time and full time as the officials leave the pitch.

By all means disagree and if you have to shout at them a least try to make it witty as opposed to abuse.

After the game polite applause the same way that we applaud the opposition.

Agree with Shelflife, thought a yellow card was imminent for Connacht in the second half. They were on the wrong end of the penalty count and I thought just maybe the ref would want to even up the card count. It would have made for an even more interesting finish.

And non-Irish officials for interpro games involving Connacht, thank you very much. If only etc. and so on...
