Having previously read favourable reports of the Frenchman Tual
Trainini I watched extended highlights of the Leicester v
Stormers game. Have to say I thought he was excellent, well in
control and clear in his decision making and seemed to have the
respect of both teams.
Probably as has been said earlier on here he is currently seen
as 3rd behind Brousset and Ramos in the French pecking order
(after Raynal of course) but solid performances like this are
sure to keep the other 2 on their toes.

I have always liked his style and hope he brings his A game to
Sandy Park over this weekend.
Ramos did ok stepping in for Raynal in the opener. Frank Murphy
was very good in Paris and I thought Busby stood up.well in the
"bear pit" of Toulon.
Another excellent performance from Matt Carley, stood for no
nonsense early on which did help the game in difficult
conditions- very impressed
Felt for Mike Adamson, with all these excellent games taking
place, close shorelines etc he had to try and shine in the dross
of Salford. Always felt there were 1 or 2 on each side actually
refereeing the game.
Craig Evans was v good in Bristol- such a shame his refereeing
career hasn't pushed on, I rate him

Agreed. As a fellow welshman, I am dissapointed he didn't get a
middle in the six nations but i should imagine it would have
been between him and Chris Busby had Jaco Peyper retired.
