Rugby refereeing is consistently inconsistent. Red for England but not in the Chile or Scotland game for almost identical incidents Wales constantly giving away penalties on their line and then the first infringement up the other end a Fijian walks. It’s turning people off.

If ESPN stats are accurate, Jonny Gray has made 41 tackles and missed none. That is an absolutely ridiculous return. Been outstanding in all aspects of play but particularly on fringe defence. Seven other Glasgow forwards making over 20 tackles. Whopper of a victory.
