A NARROW England home victory over Wales was noteworthy more for Hollie Davidson becoming the first female member of an officiating team for a men’s Six Nations game than the match itself.
Both sides are rebuilding and it takes a while for systems to work, but basic skills are non-negotiable and the game was littered by ill-discipline and mistakes.
New Zealand referee James Doleman added to the confusion with poor decision-making, especially at the scrum where he continually allowed the scrum to be reset.
