It is an extremely difficult job folks and at times we should try (it,s difficult in the heat of battle) to cut them a bit of slack!

I watched he whole game again on premier rugby tv
I agree with all of the decisions the ref gave in the second half.
He was right.
I didn’t like it at the time but he was right.
That doesn’t mean I don’t query how he only had an Exeter whistle in his gob.

You played well, beat us on a great first half performance.
Stop over analysing, your great supporters, else we'll have to start comparing you to the Tigers faithfull for never being happy

OMG
The poor ref would have never gotten out alive if we had not held on

In his Sky feature, Stuart Barnes referred to Exeter's ability to seal the ball off, which from Sunday's evidence means players going off their feet. It's clearly something they do on a regular basis.
I sort of suspect that Prem referees only penalise teams for technical offences like sealing off, going in at the side etc if there is a genuine contest for the ball. It seems like the team that are odds on to win the ball can get away with it.
If such interpretations for the professional game are permissible, perhaps it's time to allow pro players to ruck in the good old way once again? It would solve the problem of players sealing off the ball quite quickly I suspect and because it was for pros only, concerned parents wouldn't need to worry about the safety of their offspring whilst playing for school/club etc.
