1:59 "I think he spoke French I don't think he understood that properly" that's some great defence there by the captain hahaha
The restraint shown in not giving Billy a yellow after every conversation is remarkable. What a disrespectful way to deal with refs.
That red card for Hartley in that prem final was one of the most satisfying cards I think I’ve ever witnessed.
Wayne Barnes had an OUTSTANDING career. He's in my opinion 2nd in the top 10 best referee in World Rugby no doubt.
Who would you have as number one out of interest?
@@AndrewDavidForde Nigel Owens of course! LMFAO!
Not if you are an ALL Black Fan- Refereed All Blacks to more Test losses than every other international Referee of his time combined, over 40% of Tests lost by NZ with Barnes as Ref- far higher than any other Referee! .
What I learnt from this is that you don't call the ref a F**king cheat 😂
There will always be questions about decisions made and what ifs, but no doubt Wayne Barnes is one of the best refs of all time, anyone who disagrees is blinded by bias
100% mate! No one should ever be subject to the type of abuse he received! He’s human! The system failed him not he failed the system!
Any country that produced Grant Nesbitt, Murray Mexted and Ian Smith must know a thing or two about bias…
I think he's a bit egotistical sometimes but he's still a great ref
@@SomeBritishGal1 He's not as funny as he'd like to think he is, but, sure, top ref. Let down by a touch judge once, as I seem to remember.
@@ulaca1 The only big decision of his I disagree with is sending off Dylan Hartley at Twickenham. It's a Premiership final, emotions and tensions are high and sometimes we say things we don't mean to and Barnes acted as if Hartley ran up to him and shouted in his face. It's a sin bin, but not a straight red.
Wayne Barnes, if you are by any chance reading this, I want to thank you for everything that you have done for this sport. It is a damn shame that people are harassing you and your family after everything you have done.
An outstanding referee and an excellent example for everyone about the values and love of rugby! Great video as per usual :)
Always liked him ,for his unwavering authority , and preference for blunt explanations over grandstanding.
The Collina of rugby.
i think that has to go to nigel but hes outstanding either way
“I’m a grown ass man” as he gets led away. Scarlet for Billy every time I see that clip.
Wayne Barnes was a brilliant ref, who wasn't afraid to make big calls in big games. I'm sure he didn't get every call right, but I always felt everything was done with fairness and integrity for the game.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
His win/loss ratio when he reffed NZ was an anomaly. NZ lost 40% more matches when he reffed them.
@@kelbatt7729 Exactly....other weaker refs caved into NZ's administration, players, culture, similar to how English refs would cave into Man Utd during the Fergie days. Barnes was made of sterner stuff and penalized them for all the cheating they'd get away with from the weaker refs....so not an anomaly just NZ finally got reffed properly .
@@andrewp1075 100% right
@@kelbatt7729 Bro they destroyed you!!!😭😭😭
I think Barnes has one of the best character progressions in rugby, when he first became an international standard referee, he made poor decisions, mistakes and was often hesitant and temperamental- as a Wales fan I despised him. He has steadily improved throughout his long career to become the best, he is an excellent communicator and rarely gets things wrong, and when he does make mistakes he will hold his hands up or correct himself. He is truly world class and a proper gent. Obviously learnt a lot from Nigel..
The look on Dylan Hartley's face never gets old. Love it.
Excellent video buddy, and respect for putting the time for this bloody ref. He deserves some real credit.
Absolute quality. Always clear with his decisions and concise instructions and explanations to players. Always about the game and not about him. Good luck in your retirement. I’d have him in the IRB to look at changes in laws, trials etc.
When he first came on the rugby Seen, I didn’t like him, but I grow to like him more and more before he retired. Good luck in retirement.
Always felt that first clip should've been a card for Vunipola. Nonetheless, a wonderful referee and a poignant reminder that social media comments have consequences that can stretch wider than we can realise.
Barnes was fair there. Pearce has dealt well with Billy too by marching him 20 metres. Billy needs to stop with the attitude and focus on his play
@@jonnybaynham1689 his world cup performance... Jesus wept
He is fast becoming as immense as Nigel....Great ref indeed!
He's retired now, so no more "becoming".
Brilliant refereeing. No referee gets every decision right. Rugby is an extensive lawbook with so many changing rules and referees are the ones turned on first when decisions dont go someones way. Accountsbility is important but more and more its going the way of abuse. Just look at one or two odd ones in this comment section.
Barnes was very clear to players, embodied the ethos to let the game run smoothly, and explained his rationale to players. Not always right, but no one ever will be. Yet he seemed incredibly likeable and well respected by players, coaches, and most reasonable fans. Thats quite something for a referee.
He was one of the best 👊🏉
Not the biggest Wayne Barnes fan but he didn’t cost the ABs the final and absolutely did not deserve the abuse he received. Sad that his career had to end the way it did because he’s a remarkable referee.
Yes he hid, he and his team were appalling. It's funny because the AB fans knew what would happen when he was appointed. He's public enemy no.1 over there and has been for many years. Social media death-threats are weird, but he deserves criticism.
@@MorAodhanweird? More like completely unacceptable
I actually really liked him. But his performance the entire WC wasnt really good at all. He wanted to have a more fluid game and let a lot of stuff go. But that actually slowed the game down with as Boks and Ireland targeting to slow down every single Ruck by all means necessary. And theyd get a way with it... it slowed the game and ruck speed down so much. Because they figured Barnes out... He didnt need to whistle straight away but atleast warn them not to do that stuff again. Also he gifted SA 3 points while the penalty shouldve been the other way around.
but no, he shouldnt get death threats!!!
It wouldve been nice for him to whistle the final in 2019 he was one of the best refs at that time, but obviously he wasnt allowed to.
But getting it in 2023 was a poor decision after a poor tournament.
And yes the red card was the ABs own fault. But they still were the better team, and with a different ref, they wouldve probably won it (though it depends on who wouldve replaced him, he wasnt a bad ref, there were so many worse. he was just not good this WC)
Criticism for what?
I’m genuinely confused by the reaction of Kiwis.
They’ve had the ref in their pocket for years and because THEY threw their own game, they turn around and blame the ref?
@@G-regTaylorCriticism for admitting to Ardie Savea he shouldn’t have penalised him while Hannibal was lining up what was ultimately the winning kick.
Not following rugby laws, the law book clearly states TMO can only go back 2 phases prior to a try being scored but scrubbed out Smith’s try when the TMO went back 5 phases.
No penalty for de Klerk not feeding the scrum at the end and I could go on. The current laws are bad enough without the ref making it up as he goes along
Great Video as ever Andrew, we will miss Wayne when the Six Nations starts, which im very excited about as an England fan.
What a better game football would be if players and referees showed the respect for each other that happens in Rugby.
2:15 says calm refeering, and he immediately yells at them
Simon Pegg with a whistle
One of the greats 👏
Great compilation
Brilliant ref
Brilliant 👍
Great video sir
One of Histories best Refs
Personally, (and maybe in biased because I'm English) I think he's the best to ever do it
Rugby stories are so entertaining!
Quality.
A fitting tribute to one of the games very best officials. His diligence regarding player safety was second to none. Shame on all the keyboard cowards spewing their bile about him.
Great
I still remember that forward pass he missed.
2:02 telling the ref he hasn't got the balls to send you off may be the stupidest thing I have ever heard of...
he didn't say that from what I heard. He got sent off for shouting at Barnes 'I got the f**ing ball' i.e. he turned the ball over and is yelling at Barnes
Billy Vunipola’s such a child 🤦♂️
Best ref of all time (dead heat with Nigel Owens JMHO). There was also that English bloke Chris White sometime ago who was great and didn't ref enough of the our SH games. Also really liked Glen Jackson, who's career was far too short (of his own volition).
Wayne Barnes is a bloody close second to another legend Nigel Owens. Barnes is a genuinely great referee.
The best to ever do it IMO. The final was arguably the greatest reffing performance of all time.
Im going to dispute both your points. best ever is not Barnes, its Nigel Owens. if the final you refer to was the RWC final then your delusional. The Greatest reffing performances are where you barely notice them, not where they become such a major and visible factor
@@oliverjenner9251Your opinion brother
@@Vanskii your welcome to offer your own opinion or dispute mine. i gave my opinion and my reasons behind it and why i disagree with the original comment
@@oliverjenner9251I agree with your take that Owens was the best. However your position that a ref should not be noticed, invites some questions. In 2007, Barnes missed one forward pass and we've been hearing about it ever since. In 2023, he came back to a missed knock on, this is apparently not correct either, because now we notice him too much.
Folks need to either make peace with the 2007 performance, or with the 2023 one. One cannot argue against both and be logically consistent. A positive, in 2023 the correct decisions were made, so there's a move in the right direction imo.
@@oliverjenner9251 I liked Owens a lot but he wasn't as consistently good as Barnes, in my opinion.
The RWC final was arguably the biggest ever game of rugby. There were a lot of very difficult decisions and very contentious moments he got them ALL right under intense pressure.
Given how difficult THAT game of rugby was to referee he was absolutely incredible.
Watch it back, the amount of really tricky spots he was in was unreal.
I am French and i agree......Wayne Barnes and Nigel Owen are the best referees !!!!!!
Nay par my problem... That's uo there with my French😂
can you please do a tribute video to wayne barnes as he is now retired
He's a bit like Mace Windu. Nigel Owens is Yoda
As a scarlets supporter bye bye Wayne Barnes old man
But WaYNe BarNEs COsT Nz teH fiNAl 😂😂
“Pas ma problem” he says to the French. It should be “Pas mon problème”, no wonder they didn’t understand
The ONLY game in the world where respect is real...
Waynes Barnes is a top bloke. Always did a lot behind the scenes for rugby. Wish him all the best in his next ventures.
I feel so bad for Wayne Barnes. These threats that people are giving referees players and their families. I am South African. I’m sorry for the French. We beat you by one point. I’m sorry for the English that we beat you by one point. I’m sorry to all blacks that we beat you up by one point. if it hadn’t been the other way around? This was not the players, this was not the referees. This is rugby. It goes that way. Not only is it a fantastic sport, but at the end you get to shake your oppositions hand. But this manis giving his best to the sport. I’ve heard he’s going to retire because of the threats. This is so wrong.
Abolsute quality ref
The only thing I don't like about Wayne Barnes is that he can't referee our (England's) matches.
Do English premier rugby players even understand the rules of the game. It seems they do not and the coaches do not explain changes to them.
People under an hour
👇
He's a bell end
So many delusional people hahaha
The Dylan Harrtley red card was a mistake. Wayne allowed his emotions to get the better of him. Whatever you think of Dylan he was never so stupid to think he could accuse the ref of being a cheat and stay on the field.
I think I believe the ref, Hartley did a lot of things that got him well-deserved red cards, he knew this actions were stupid too
so many bad decisions, so happy to see him retire, awful ref
Can't see a forward pass and won't refer back for a play. Not impressed.
Appalling referee. Never understood the scrum, and always rewarded the side appealing the most. It's not soccer, Wayne!
Shame he saved his worst till last and ruined a world cup.
I think he's from south Africa the way he blew the world cup final
One of the worst test match refs in modern history, probably the worst. They gave the biggest clown the most important matches - the IRB are a total joke.
The problem with Barnes is that he was clearly anti-French……..many, many inexplicably bad decisions against French sides, be it the national side or French clubs in Europe. As a side issue, he’s an intelligent man and yet he refused to learn any degree of French. For example he spent matches shouting “haut jour” (meaning nothing, literally high day), rather than “hors jeux” (offside). The argument that “he made an effort” is simply not good enough at the elevated level he was reffing.
I was bored at work so I looked up the stats.
To my knowledge, Wayne Barnes has refereed the French national team on eleven occasions:
2007 - RWC Refs a French win over NZ 20 - 18
2010 - 6N Refs a 33 - 10 win over Ireland.
2011 - 6N Refs a 34 - 21 win over Scotland.
2012 - 6N Refs a 23 - 17 win over Scotland.
2015 - 6N Refed a loss to Ireland 18 - 11.
2016 - 6N Refed a loss to Wales 19 - 10.
2017 - 6N Refed a 20 - 18 win against Wales.
2018 - 6N Refed a 34 - 17 win over Italy.
2019 - 6N Refed a loss to Wales 24 - 19.
2020 - 6N Refed a 34 - 27 win over Ireland.
2023 - 6N Refed a loss to Ireland 32 - 19.
Seven wins, four losses.
Of course there may be other international games I have missed but that seems fairly unbiased.
For full disclosure, in my brief check I must admit I didn't see any evidence to show that Jacyo Pieper or Angus Gardiner don't speak Italian.
@@vulture3874 poor you……..you seem to lead a rather boring life, my sympathies
@@jamesbenjamin8078 You're very kind Jamie, but really, it was no trouble. You see, I already had most of the information (and it is readily available) from an answer I put together from another commenter complaining about his alleged bias towards Ireland*.
So your comment intrigued me; biased against both Ireland and France? I was surprised it was so easy to refute.**
I suppose I could look up his records with Wales, but we both know how that's going to turn out, eh Jamie?
Scotland? Frankly I lived there for thirty years, so I don't much care.
Then there's Italy, but I think we can agree that they're so bad that they'd struggle to win 6N games even with a ref called Vito Corleone.
As for my life, I'm good thanks Jamie. You know as little of me, as I do of you. Except, of course that you are the sort of person to double down on an inaccurate statement with a petty, ill-constructed insult. #
*Also tripe by the way.
**It's almost as if you didn't check.
# I would never do that. Mr Poopy pants .😋
@@jamesbenjamin8078LOL! This guy pulls accusations out of his arse with no data to back it up. Then when someone actually does the research that proves him wrong, he just responds condescendingly.
Just a bit of advice for when you start secondary school next year pal.. your opinion isn’t fact, and it won’t get you through life.
@@jamestaylor5417 calm down chap…….”research” on results says nothing of bias, merely results. How do you two geniuses know from this “research” that Barnes is not biased against French sides. Everyone in France understands this (cue Brexit-based racism against France)
Billy vunipola is so dislikable
Wayne Barnes is a god.
worst ref to take field
He garnered very little respect outside of England! Every match reffed by Wayne Barnes became the Wayne Barnes story rather than the focus being on the match! P.S. Never, ever attack the man or his family its still only a job. Regardless of what we think of his performances. We are not football fans this is rugby! Moaning about the ref is just part and parcel of being a fan, some of the behaviour of the keyboard warriors in personally contacting him has been just pathetic and malicious! I'm embarrassed this is creeping into the game.
He is one of worst referees in the world. He is excuse of the referee and is bias. No good
😂😂😂❤🇿🇦🏆🏆🏆🏆
This bloke is one of the main reasons I no longer support rugby. He seems only interested in making the game all about him!!! Add this to the decisions made by world rugby rulers and the game has gone to the dogs of big business. No longer a sport for the masses. Enjoy what is left you people
He is crap
Without a shadow of a doubt one of the worst international referees I have ever seen. I have relatives in NZ that are involved in the game and they cannot believe that he became England's number one ref.
Worst ref to ever touch rugby, rugby is a better place now he is gone
By far the worst referee ever.
best*😂💔
for the sake of a flowing game rugby is better without him.........zero personality
Wayne trash Barnes
Doesn't deserve a homage imo. I never feel he'll get big calls correct when he's reffing. And that's what matters, I don't care about his discipline or mediation with players.
*Edit: Half of it comes from rugby's **_'new-look'_** rules that are ruining the game, but men like Barnes who've never played a proper game of rugby in their lives add to the problem as they can never apply vital and necessary context. Death-threats are weird and have no place. But the fact he's tucked-tail and retired says a lot about the man and the courage of his convictions.*
He shagged his career with his abysmal refereeing of the rwc final, and resigned as a result. What a legacy......not.
Says less than 0.06% of the world - the rest of us thought he was quite good, given that he is human and all.
I think he reffed it really well as a neutral, got all the big decisions right
As a Kiwi I'm more concerned over the TMO failing to follow their own laws as opposed to Wayne Barnes on-field officiating
blame the Rules, that game was reffed 100% to the current and understanding of the rules.
Be salty if you want but the AB's left 5 points out there by 2 missed kicks... sorry but not enough skill.
@@MrSupermugen Not disagreeing that the ABs missed opportunities but to say the game was officiated 100% to current standards is a farce
I absolutely agree that this referee should not have been targeted by anyone for his cowardice under pressure
Bampa
I hope Wayne Barnes stays in rugby
good practitioner of the law apparently, more years there would have been rugby's gain
Grand Master? I've seen him make awful, obvious mistakes.
Worst rugby referee ever....never gave Ireland jack..always went against them.......
Evidence?
A real shame he let himself and the profession of rugby refereeing down so badly in the KO rounds though. He was utter shite for the first few years on the scene, but was finally coming around until he completely bottled this RWC. Alas. he is not alone in being incompetent -- OKeffee was right there with him.
There is no wonder why the RWC final was such a poor spectacle -- two inferior teams played there by clueless referees.
We can hope for better next time it seems -- especially with Wayne off the scene now and constantly complaining on every TV set over the past couple of weeks about how hard the job is. Especially when you clearly don't know any of the laws around the scrimmage like Wayne was at a clear loss this RWC, it would be very difficult indeed!
Scrimmage? Are you sure you are moaning about the right sport?
@@DAILARNER can attribute that to a change by my mobile.
Not sure you being a massive thicko can ever be changed. But I'm sure that doesn't stop you from spewing ignorant shite at every opportunity. It's truly the only thing you excel at.
LOL 😂 Next time get your mate Dave from the pub to officate rather than the Professionals with years of experience. You clown
