What I got really annoyed about was the refusal to listen and react. Whether Evans is any good or not, whether he's right or wrong, he's the ref, and when he's constantly pinging you for early drive on the line out maul, STOP DOING IT ! Brainless. I get it's the coaches original tactic, but on field leadership to change when necessary is totally lacking.

First scrum penalty was a complete joke.
First try was a forward pass.
At the second try, how is it legal for a breakaway without the ball at the front of the maul to take out the defensive line?
Very little refereeing of the offside line when they were blatantly over it. Pinpoint refereeing when we were.

Anyone else think so at the time?

Dan McFarland said an Ulster analyst saw the offside and told an assistant.

I'm taking that claim (from McFarland) as a wind up, following Ferris calling it live and quickly becoming he (Ferris) told the TMO and now its got legs its an Ulster analysis. It is something a TJ and TMO should watch for and check respectively.

TJ/AR is going to struggle to get a decent view on that from where s/he should be standing
In front of the kicker at a penalty is definitely one for a competent referee to look for.
