       Thought his handling of the Ireland v NZ game was the finest
       performance I had ever seen, just magnificent from start to
       finish!!!! (Though why Ireland get TWO songs and the Kiwis get
       the silly dance I'll never know!!!!!!)

       Not really. They sing the Irish anthem AND a joint one. Surely
       it should be just the IC, or Soldier song + GSTQ? That would be
       wonderful.

       They only get the two tunes when playing at home. Whenever they
       play outside the RoI, they just get Irelands Call.

       Anyway......
       Yes agree on Barnes -- the best ref in the world at the top of
       his game. Can't be a more high pressure game than that and he
       was superb. Made the right calls, let the game flow, didn't let
       the players start telling him what to do and totally unflappable
       in the face of pressure from the crowd, not afraid to make the
       big calls.

       He should have given Kearney at least a yellow card for his
       challenge on Ioane in the air. You could make a decent argument
       for a red as Ioane's head bounced off the turf. Poor reffing.

       Sorry but couldn’t disagree more. In no way ever is that a red.
       Didn’t think it was yellow either.
       Certainly what it isn’t is proof that Barnes wasn’t excellent.

       I agree. I thought he was brilliant. Such a contrast to the lax
       officiating at Twickenham the week before. Players respond when
       there is clear direction.

       Ireland have three songs if they are playing at home.
       I would stop that.

       It's a shame that Barnes has announced his retirement after the
       World Cup, for family & career reasons.  See
  HTML https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2018/aug/29/wayne-barnes-rugby-referee-retiring-tmo
       He's about 8 years younger than Nigel Owens, which suggests he
       would have had a lot of referring left in him.
