What a disgrace to his profession this wanker is!
In the Welsh vs Fiji game today he exhibited blatant bias against the Fijians.
Late in the game he simply refused to give the Welsh a 2nd yellow when he had no problem doing so last week when binning Cane shortly after Barrett!
However, what was worse was the incident before half time where the Fijian lost the ball over the line.
Just prior to that a Welsh defender flew in low with his shoulder and took the legs out from under the Fijian and he subsequently lost the ball when hit by another player.
Carley said no infringement as he could see the Welsh player’s arm coming around. This is just complete bullshit!
Correct result should have been a yellow card and a penalty try!!
What say you Hasbeeno? Crooked NH refs or what??

I noticed it too, Moola. They were on about 10 penalties on their goal line and he had even warned them.
Everyone I was watching the game with were asking if he'd forgotten Wales were on a warning.
And yeah that goal line hit was two shoulder smashes. That should have been a penalty try and a yellow.

It's a bullshit rule, that's why they have trouble officiating it. They know very well this means matches are going to be ruined by accidental contacts.
If you decide contact to the head is red, then red it and be done with it. Now some don't get penalized, some get yellow and thrown into the bunker system for someone to "review" (it was either head contact or not, what do you want to review?). If you want effective laws, apply them to the letter. Once you open them to interpretation and mitigation you might as well scrap them, because then you have the inconsistent mess you have now where the outcome will depend on the official of the day and how he feels about it.

And all of it will amount to players taking a dive as soon as the feel contact to their head.
