Referee George Clancy needs to stop Argentina killing the game against Wales, for the sake of the sport, writes Simon Thomas in the Western Mail.
”With the game of rugby in crisis, there has never been a greater need for a real Millennium Stadium spectacle than this afternoon. The sport that has given us so much pleasure over the years needs to be handled with care if it is not to be destroyed.
We have all become thoroughly fed up of seeing the leather kicked off the ball and attack-minded teams being thwarted by the handling of the breakdown. The game of rugby that we all know and love is in danger of disappearing before our eyes and one man who can help begin the rescue mission today is referee George Clancy.The question is, will the Irishman allow Wales to play or will he let Argentina get away with negative, stifling tactics at the tackle area?”
