I think he needs to go back to basic training, like some of the linesmen do as well

The man should be barred from refereeing from life!!!

Chris white (and lets make no bones about it) cost us a draw. He may have even cost us the game.
He actually told Hook there would be time for the lineout. He did the same thing at the end of the first half (exactly the same thing happenned) and you can hear him saying "I have awarded the lineout - john". So why didn't he allow the one at the end of the game? It is simply not honourable, to go back on his word.
Once referees make glaring mistakes that cost teams the match, and they admit to them - they are through.

I think the 4th official (or whatever you call him in rugby) should take most of the blame.
Chris White clearly asked how long was left and although we could all see there were 5 seconds left he was told twice there were 10 seconds. Then when the 4th official called time, White asked if they should take the line out and the 4th official said no, ending the game.
I think Wales were lucky to be that close to Italy in terms of points because in terms of possession and territory, they were second best

I did'nt see most of the game myself. I did however see the final much talked about incident, an unfortuante misunderstanding?
However I found it interesting to see in the following days paper there was a glowing report on Whites handling of the match an his interpretation of the rules.In fact the paper labelled him as one of the top refs in the world

it wouldnt have been so bad if we had taken the line out and still got beaten.
we were poor and have been all six nations
we deserve the wooden spoon, but beating the english would put a nice shine to it but i dont see it happening

I think that's part of the game where you'd sometimes make mistake.
I'd like to keep seing him there because he is good dispite that mistake.
Thanx!
