Deserves his own thread after tonight's Ireland v Australia game.
Never seen a Ref before who looked like he was 'picking on the rank outsiders' for technical offences.
Think he was 'star struck' by the Ozzies, or maybe just an Olivia Newton John fan.
Irish didn't deserve his performance, apparently he's a Leyther (ashamed) !

The Ireland v Aus thread is pretty much about him and him only, wouldn't worry too much we are all in agreement, he was e!!

Typical of all English refs when officiating an Australian game even against their own.

No doubt on the lookout for a mid season gig down under next year.

I didn't watch the game because I watched a status quo documentary so I cant wait to watch the re run tomorrow on premier sports to see how bad Bentham was.

Bentham was bad but announcing that on a worldwide forum puts Benthams performance into stark perspective!

we are all interested in different things

He hasn't had a good game all tournament

Armchair "experts" to the fore again

Armchair "experts" to the fore again

Yep. And it annoys you so much you said it twice. He has been no where near as good as most of the other refs

You would think he hated the Irish after that performance.
