I guess the referee's coaching panel and I are going to have to agree to disagree, because there is every potential for one of the incidents I described to cause serious injury or alter the outcome of the game significantly. I'm not having a go at you personally mate, It's nice to have a current ref to bounce this sort of stuff off, however in this case, it appears the system has been set up to protect the Ref and the recipients of his favour rather than make the necessary inputs to ensure a fairer game for all.
It is also taking an uncharacteristically long time for me to get over some of the specific incidents of Saturday's game, not least of which are the dangerous, disrespectful and overbearing performance by our national captain......I guess you have to develop that game when you are coming up against a Richie McCaw in your international career, but it sucks to be on the wrong side of it.
