This is a good officials sub plot for the game, bit awkward in that changing room!

For me Barnes is not biased - he just applies a different set of laws than the official ones. Which is frustrating, unhelpful and poor. But if it’s your day you may benefit.

I think Barnes has got to his exalted referee position to a considerable extent because he has become a celebrity.  I don't like his style of refereeing and agree he is a bit cavalier with the rules.  Each to his own, I guess though.
