European Rugby Finals
DIR By: Rhys147

EPCR Challenge Cup Final
Friday 19th May (20:00)
Referee: Wayne Barnes
ARs: Chris Busby & Craig Evans
TMO: Ben Whitehouse
Heineken Champions Cup
Saturday 20th May (16:45)
Referee: Jaco Peyper
ARs: Karl Dickson & Christophe Ridley
TMO: Tom Foley
Not entirely sure I agree with these selections especially
Peyper as referee for the final of the Champions Cup. Was
expecting to see someone like Karl Dickson or Matt Carley as the
referee for that. Happy with Barnes on the Challenge Cup as a
good send-off for him in what will most likely be his last game
in European competition. As a welshman, glad to see Craig Evans
& Ben Whitehouse be involved although not entirely sure they
should be used given the appointments they've both had in the
knockout stages. Finally, good luck to all the officals involved
and hope that they both have good games in their respective
games.

Well I have to say I would have been way off with any
predictions. Peyper must have been assessed as "better" in the
SFs, surprised Luke Pearce not included, nor big Nika
Craig Evans and Ben Whitehouse seem to be in their likely roles
for WC, along with Ridley and possibly Foley.
Good luck to all

Have to say I'm really disappointed with the HC Final
appointment, for Peyper to be involved in a SF and then Final is
an absolute joke of a decision, how the other officials who had
been performing throughout the tournament feel about this must
be demoralising!!
Whilst I understand Barnes getting a send off and I don't really
have an issue with that, he deserves one last hurrah.
Have to feel for Nika & Matthew as IMO they deserved more than
they received.

Firstly, what a game! Why is a lead after 10 mins so hard to
hang on to?
I felt Peyper's complete indifference to managing the breakdown
added to the 'madness' of the game.
First yellow was swiftly, probably too hastily, given. Second
yellow was 2 collapsed mauls too late although pleasing to see
him award it, despite the try being scored.
Third yellow could easily have been red
The red I totally agreed with.
Some excellent rugby, crunching tackles, players on the edge of
legal for a lot of the game. A compelling afternoon's rugby

Incredible game and I thought JP was surprisingly poor with
managing the breakdown and agree with RCG on the cards, we could
definitely seen a red instead of the 3rd yellow. Incredible
really that Leinster ultimately blew it!
What an atmosphere - Must be one of the top games the SA has
officiated in the NH!!
It was a complete contrast to a rather dull and one-sided
Challenge Cup Final (Glasgow were poor really). Thought WB did
ok with no major issues which I'm sure he would be pleased with.
