I was a wee bit disappointed in her to be honest, she got most of not all of the big decisions right, but didn’t seem confident and took a long time over making decisions, particularly the uncontested scrums, she should have been more aware of that. Would have liked to have heard the conversations but it didn’t look like the tmo or the other officials were helping much, suppose that is here Owens has it right in that if he wants help he will ask.
Having said that it makes a change from Clancy who is always sure and decisive but usually wrong!
There was a lot of gamesmanship too by the Kings, slowing the game down, niggl8ng and the stupid pen given against Scott when the 9 threw the ball at him, she needs to be harder on that sort if stuff. It’s the first time I had seen her and maybe I’m exoecting too much, she was better than the average in the league that’s for sure.
As for Edinburgh, we made that look very difficult. Lacked a lot of intensity form last week. Nel and Bhatti in particular looked ineffective. Nel doesn’t look fit which is a concern. Barclay played ok but looked like a blindside filling in. Pyrgos was poor I thought, took the wrong option too many times, it’s easy for a scrum half to look good coming on vs 12 men, but Shiel why’d have been on much earlier,
It wasn’t her taking the time at the scrums, it was the saffers. They consistently tried to get away with putting seven into the uncontested scrums and didn’t stop until she threatened to yellow card their captain.
