Ulster: referee Wayne Barnes under fire after his heavy decision
Zapping World Fifteen Interview Rémi Bonfils: Ntamack/Jalibert who to take the reins?
Stade Toulousain was not spared in this first leg of the round of 16. Indeed, after being reduced to 14 on a foul by Malia, Ugo Mola’s men were punished by a cruel interception by the best player in the Irish team, Robert Baloucoune.
But what enrages Internet users is the fault that Wayne Barnes did not whistle on this test. The Ulster winger was clearly offside on Antoine Dupont’s pass, but the official gave the try anyway. With such a decision, he clearly buried Stade Toulousain’s chances of victory.
Toulouse plays hard in Ulster’s 22m… and is countered. On the other hand, he was out of the game? Barnes then validated that the images show that the player is out of the game. All is well #STULS. Mr Barnes has already won the 2022 Craig Joubert Prize.
