Really.... even if they slowed the ball down, hit players off the ball, sealed the ball off their feet, missed three blatant knock ons, hands in everything and laid over everyone !!... not a problem..... 😅
As a new Rugby fan, this IS the truest statement. I noticed that from the first few games I watched. They treat the ref as if they're their dad and not as if they are an enemy. The Rugby refs are no nonsense, with a "I'll turn this car around" type demeanor
True. Rugby people can teach all other sports many things. There are no victims, we achieve together or we fail together. Unless the refereeing is absolutely blatantly wrong, blatantly one way, best thing is to stop using the referee-excuse. Well done!
@@puppethound i especialy love the action refs can take against talking just move the mark 10 meters against the offending player/team as often as is nessesary to get the point accross
Canada deserve praise for how they played and stuck to the task. I love the fact that they didn't whine and blame it on the referee either. England played slightly below average but, in the end, deserved the victory. The Abby Dow try was worthy of a British Lions match. Superb.
Why would you say that. What reason would they have had to blame the referee. They played very well...better than most expected probably. They certainly had their chances to take the game away from England if they had been good enough.
That was an awesome response. The question was intended to stir controversy. It failed because of the thoughtful answer. The ref didn't determine the game, We did. We have work to do. Just awesome.
Well played Canada both on the field but also for showing respect for the referee. I watched the game and was suffering from squeaky bum syndrome so big respect to your team. Let’s hope your governing body offer you the chance to be professionally sponsored in future. You were awesome today!
I Was surprised at how good Canada are. They just failed to make some tackles for two of the English tries but they are right up there with the others who have reached the semis.
Canada is amazing I was so impressed with how good they are for an amateur team..by the time the next world cup comes around they will be the force to reckon with for sure.
England won fair and square but I must say as an England fan I have so much respect and admiration for how the Canadians played against us. They didn’t use the ‘oh pity me were amateurs with no funding’ excuse they dug deep and they gave it 110%. To all the other ‘amateur’ sides take note of this. True champions Canada ✊
Well, not really, Sebby face. Not yet, anyway.. Their time will come, perhaps. It's not Albions fault that some of them are "amatuers" , btw. I can hear (esp) the pseudo celts queing up to have a pop.
I don't think you understand the difference between amateur and professional. I don't think there is a single player on that English or Canadian team that would agree with you. What Canada did was immense but they should have proper financial support from their union. Too much underinvestment in women's sports needs to change. This is not an example of how competitive an amature team can be rather a question of just how much could they achieve if they had the proper support.
@@DarkMoonWayfarer You're overrated if you keep losing games and yet people insist you're unbeatable. How is winning all the time being 'overrated'? England have beaten Canada nine times in a row, France ten times in a row, everyone thirty times in a row - you need to define your rating system or you might be mistaken for a troll.
@@DarkMoonWayfarer Overrated? 20 wins in a row. The Canadian team were great, I have a huge amount of respect for the team especially the Coach and Captain.
@@NoelJGriffin I think we agree on more then you think mate. I also agree that Canada should invest. But what I’m also saying is that it shouldn’t be used as an excuse for losing. I think many people who know how to take accountability in sport would agree with me on that. That’s why I have the utmost respect for Canada for the way they played that game
You have this 🇳🇿kiwi's🇳🇿 respect for your response to the referees, your team is going from strength to strength, and I pray God bless and protect you all in your buildup to the next world cup.👌🙏🇨🇦🙏🇨🇦🙏🇨🇦🙏🇨🇦🙏
They are they greatest rugby officials in the world, they work hard to perfect their craft and they take the responsibility seriously. An amateur team ranked in top 10 is a dream come true, for the love of the game. I think if Canada went pro, they would be number 1.
Lol no they wouldn’t! it would always be NZ or England. When you have a nation like NZ who live and breathe Rugby who every boy dreams of becoming an all black who play from the age of 5 in to their late 30s to 40s how can you compete with that!
It's very important to mention that refereeing in Rugby is generally considered to be some of the highest quality because the league gives the refs a lot of tools to minimize errors and make consistent good decisions!
How fantastic! I thought gracious, thoughtful and sporting attitudes like this were just about gone from the world of sport. Well done for not rising to the journalist’s ‘bait.’
Canada are a world class side with great leadership. Most importantly the future is brighter than ever for women's rugby. Canada v France next week will be a banger of a game. 100% respect
There’s the difference between rugby and football. Football managers blame refereeing for the poor performance of their team, in rugby, if the team don’t play well it’s their responsibility. Total respect for referees, whatever the shape of the ball!
If a referee has a poor game it should be pointed out. Most rugby managers/captains keep their mouth shut when such things happen, probably because they know they will probably come up against this referee again, and don’t want to antagonise him/her. They should ‘tell the truth and be damned’. The truth will set you free.
Perfect! If the referree did not perform as they should have, the committee room is the place to address it, not with the media who are always trying to create conflict and sensation.
Oh my god, a coach and player who aren't frothing at the mouth and blaming the referee for every decision. Every athlete and coach from every sport can learn from these two.
Canada was unlucky but they only had themselves to blame, errors at crucial moments cost them big time, the referee had no bearing on the game at all. Both Women's World Cup semi finals were of the highest quality I take my hat off to all four teams and well done to next week's finalists England and New Zealand, should be a cracker game!.
It is unfortunate that the try of the tournament and potential the try of the year began with a forward pass behind England's tryline that nobody wanted to go back and review. Personal I thought that the refereeing in the first semi-final was poor overall and can only hope that the S. African ref isn't involved in the final.
I thought NZ benefited from a very generous sequence of penalty awards mid way through the second half just as the French were building momentum. Druin ought not to have been in the position of having to land that kick to win the match but still, it was a poor effort.
Why would anyone even bring that question up? I don’t think there was any question that there was inconsistent or bad refereeing, and certainly not that it would have favoured England.
In my career, we had referees that were strict and some loose around the breakdown. They tell us how they want it played before the match and it was up to us to adjust to what they wanted to see. Only ever had one game where the referee was “bad.” In that case, we sent A/V evidence to USA Rugby and they had the official banned from play. Every other referee was great, whether the calls went our way or the other teams.
Michael Chieka.....watch, listen, learn and coach your team to pass the ball flat or backwards...not forwards like for your first try against England yesterday 😊
All the teams are a credit to themselves and their countries however we have to expect a higher standard from the adjudication teams. We have the ref 2 x ARs and a tmo. If you listen to the mitigations from the refs after they've been to the tmo's there's a serious problem with the pictures they are seeing and they need to get it right if we are to have consistency with law.
Good effort Canada, I too believe you will only get better playing on level one with the other top three countries, but do remember other countries like Australia, USA, Russia, bearing in mind lesser teams need to play against you too, that will give you all a good go of trying to be No One.
Humility and respect for the man or woman doing there best to ref a very fast and brutal game - well played Camada. If only other teams didn't need to send hour long whine videos when they lose.
There will be times when a referee is actually bad. But that doesn't happen at the higher levels of a sport that often. But even if it had, a professional athlete and couching staff doesn't whine about it. You double done and work harder so you will win no matter what the conditions. All loss is simply an opportunity to improve. This interview segment displayed how true professionals view a match. Nice to see that there are still professional out there 👍
The thing is, sometimes the ref does actually cost a team the game through a bad call. Each ref enforces rules slightly differently just from one ref to the next. Complaining about the ref shouldn't be the go to for why a team lost, but we should also be allowed to call a spade a spade
During the Penguins' run to the Stanley Cup in 1991, they lost a game in the playoffs to Boston when the Bruins benefitted from a ticky-tack penalty call late in the game, scored on the power play to tie the score and won in overtime. When a reporter asked him about the officiating after the game, Coach Bob Johnson said, "That loss is on us for putting ourselves in a position where one call can decide the game." You know Johnson was thoroughly pissed off at the call (yes, it was a penalty, but NHL referees generally "put their whistles away" during the last 10 minutes or so of a playoff game), but he made the decision to put his emotions aside and respond with grace and dignity. That's usually the wisest course to take. I remember another time in the 80's when the Steelers beat the Bengals when Cincy got flagged three times on what would have been a final drive that would have either tied or won the game. When Bengals Coach Sam Wyche was asked about the calls costing him the game, he said, "Ed Hochuli (the referee) didn't throw four picks. We did that."
Canucks have a gene pool generally not associated with a name like Sorenson. I will stand to be corrected, if that be the case. Canada did make a decent fist of it, absolutely !
England my team were peppered with error's, with one or two player's visibly rattled. the Canadian's played with relentless accuracy and precision. But England kind of won with muscle memory, they found a way to win. But it was close, England have a week to find themselves again, I hope I don't have to watch another England side step into another World cup final, unprepared for the intensity of a World cup final.
Perhaps now this will educate the uneducated and unadulterated gobdaws that BASH the referee whenever their team loses a game. It happens every single game, and it's time people learned to zip it. If a coach and captain can praise the referee, so should you.
Or perhaps it is a professional sport, not a morality tale.. everyone is in it for the cash..and they have cameras everywhere, and it should be virtually impossible for them to make terrible decisions. And yet...
@@mixodorians12 When you are officiating a sport that has what feels like a million laws, and everything is happening in front of you at a quick pace, you cannot be guaranteed every decision made will be right.
maybe Wayne Pivac can learn a thing or two from this (I mean he makes Michael chieka look like a saint). this is how you respond to a question regarding the referee
Rassie Erasmus set the tone and scene when he made that infamous video, for his players Oh really, criticising, ridiculing and questioning the impartiality of the Oz referee. Sadly all the moronic bok fans agreed with everything he said. He has done more harm to SA rugby than anyone.
I’ve seen moaning in football and rugby and humbleness in both also. Bobby Robson when Newcastle manager would say after a loss we just were not good enough today.
Canadian Women Athletes: It’s not the refs fault, we need to improve. American Women Athletes: It’s the refs fault we don’t get paid the same as the men. It’s the refs fault I’m in a Russian prison for smuggling drugs.
My daughter played rugby a few years ago and they lost the match. I said too bad you lost. She said you don't understand their is the rugby match , the song contest and the drinking contest and nobody loses all three.
Totally agree with the vast majority of comments here , sport should be leading the way in assuming responsibility . Umpires and referees always want to do their jobs the best they can in an unbiased impartial manner otherwise they won’t get any more work .
The game and this specific tournament aside, refs need to be criticised and held accountable when they make mistakes. The title of this video suggests that they are infallible and that we should never speak ill of them
@@midolancmlungisi9990 I think australia have probably been the worst offenders recently! Shocking that eddie jones wasn't punished for some of the things he was saying around ~2020 but he seems to have calmed down recently
Meanwhile some Olympic breakdance contestants "reeee the referees are wrong, the audience is wrong, I would win every time if referees weren't involved"
That's just professional media training. Fairly standard at that level where teams know that nothing good comes from criticising the opponent or the officials in public. You see this in all sports. (Except Rassie down in South Africa!!)
💯 if you can’t win based of ref decisions then you need to tighten your discipline. The ref is also human and like a player makes mistakes. It’s the players job to mitigate errors and help the ref make good decisions. It’s called game management and the Captains and players should learn to manage the game not just play it.
Well done guys. Owning your mistakes and not blaming the ref.
You ruined my game searching you
Really.... even if they slowed the ball down, hit players off the ball, sealed the ball off their feet, missed three blatant knock ons, hands in everything and laid over everyone !!... not a problem..... 😅
You can’t demonstrate maturity any better than that. Owning responsibility is such a fundamental in rugby.
Rugby spirit as its best! We play, we are responsible and we respect our opponents, the referee and ourselves.

You have to want "it"more than the opposition
good boy and girl. your masters will be pleased with your answers.
AWESOME RESPONSE!!
Class response - reffing is a tough job. Rassie could learn a thing or two.
also the england could learn too
@@midolancmlungisi9990 I think australia have probably been the worst offenders recently!
Shocking that eddie jones wasn't punished for some of the things he was saying around ~2020 but he seems to have calmed down recently
Unfortunately he wont. Too arrogant.

Meanwhile some Olympic breakdance contestants "reeee the referees are wrong, the audience is wrong, I would win every time if referees weren't involved"
Love it! Ambassadors to their sport
As a referee I approve of this message.
That's just professional media training. Fairly standard at that level where teams know that nothing good comes from criticising the opponent or the officials in public. You see this in all sports. (Except Rassie down in South Africa!!)
What is the "right" way to answer if and when the result DOES come down to the ref?
Exemplary 👏🏼
Run the race so as to win the prize 🏆 stay focused and believe 😊
💯 if you can’t win based of ref decisions then you need to tighten your discipline. The ref is also human and like a player makes mistakes. It’s the players job to mitigate errors and help the ref make good decisions. It’s called game management and the Captains and players should learn to manage the game not just play it.
