I didn't accuse the ref of bias or of 'being against' the Scarlets.

My point was that he didn't care much for the laws and prioritised the entertainment value of the game - and as it happened, in the first half this hugely favoured Munster as he didn't penalise players for holding the ball on the floor post-tackle, so they could recycle possession ad nauseam. He should certainly have penalised tackles in the neck area, of which there were several. 

He was consistent - in the second half, when the Scarlets got on top, he was fairly lenient on some calls too... it's just that we were too far behind by then.

The second half was a different team. The first half I closed my eyes in all honesty.

How you mark it depends (a bit) on whether you want to win more than you want to be entertained.

Of course, if you support the Ospreys, you are unlikely to have the choice!

The guy had a slating for the first few pages when we were getting pummelled. 😂😂😂

I was still slating him at the end he was biased beyond belief even th commentators were pointing out stuff he was missing. All of it to our benefit. We had to play I incredible rugby to ge close. The taking out of JBW off the ball for their last try a great example

Not actually sure anyone has said that.....



Correct

Bollocks. Whenever we play on artificial pitches we always moan about injuries, but hey ho it's me let's deny it. 
I believe they favour the team more used to them. They can adjust to the it better. May be marginal but im sure there is some advantage even if only in boot/stud selection
