Whereas at lower levels, while not showing bias, a ref can be swayed by a cordial/jovial word in his ear.

We refs like to let you players think that certainly. Keeps things civil. Doesn't make it true though.

I intriuged as to the level of the game and the level of the referee. Your example is of a very poor referee who bottled their critical decisions. They need coaching and to attend their society's training meetings and to grow a pair.

I want Hartley as he will give so many easy points to the opposition when he loses his rag. note not IF , but WHEN !!

and yes I know Wales are good at leaking penalties too

Yep. When not if.

I wonder how many minutes he will spend on the naughty step in this year's 6N?

That reminds me, what has happened to Craig Joubert?

To early for him, and I say that as a Wasps fan.

It's a captain you're looking for not a f*cking Labrador to take for a walk.

Dull. Uninspiring. Not yet a leader of men.

Does he ride a bike then?

This made me chuckle

I think you're completely wrong about this. Sit in the stands at the Ricoh with me and watch him play. Might be a bit soon, but he is not uninspiring. He is at forefront of the battle rallying the troops all the time. When Haskell stands aside he's got to be made Wasps captain.
