Not great but will go easy on him because we won.
Played some good advantages.
Wouldn’t let James challenge for the drop ball. Not sure of the current rule but I miss the old drop balls and the yellows that often followed
Palmer / Kelly. Thought Palmer could have easily been given a red and Kelly was unlucky to get a yellow even though he initiated the after the play handbags
The ref seemed flustered for a few minutes after this and made some strange calls including missing a blatant foul on O’Hare
The Bristol yellow for dissent. Not sure if they wanted a pen or a corner and it’s hard to know what the conversation was. Good to see a ref clamp down on this.
The penalty. Good decision though if it had been against us I’m sure the majority would have claimed it was a dive.
Ref seemed to take a lot of strange positions and made a lot of his calls from some distance
Overall rating 6

He was ok, nothing more, nothing less, and to be fair, I don’t think we’ve had a truly bad ref for a while - perhaps Cardiff away? Their guy could/should have gone for pushing Kelly over in a quite aggressive manner. If it had been one of our players sent off for that, whilst being disappointed, we’d have probably said ‘he gave the ref a decision to make’. With the penalty, we’ve seen them given and seen them denied, my instinct is that we were fortunate there, but God knows we deserved a decision to go in our favour. Agree with 6/10.
