Dickinson admits mistakes

respect for dickinson. takes guts to acknowledge mistakes at that level. And to apologise makes it even better.

It was a beautiful deft little kick by Carter..shame it was disallowed. I thought in the end other than one or two bloppers, he let the game flow pretty well considering it was a highly charged game. There were numerous foul play incidents that he didn't call up but had he, the game would not have been as intense as it ended up being.

News from the Far Side

In news from the Tri-Nations, NFS's crack team of undercover operatives have revealed some interesting images from the match officials' changing rooms during the All Blacks' 19-8 win over South Africa.

Footage from a secret hidden camera, placed in the key hole of a locker door, shows referee Stuart Dickinson come charging into the room at half time and frantically start rifling through the contents of his kit bag.

Assistant referee James Leckie is seen entering the room and enquiring after Dickinson's stressed behaviour.

"What's the matter Stuey?" Leckie is heard asking, thanks to a microphone concealed behind a poster of professional wrestling refereeing icon Handsome Harvey Wippleman.

"Ah, mate, no worries, I just forgot something in me bag that I might have needed a bit earlier - but I've found it now," Dickinson replies.

When Leckie leaves the room Dickinson is seen removing a wallet-like looking object from his bag and placing in his pocket before returning to the field. NFS investigators have not yet been able to ascertain what the object was, but a red-hot revelation is on the cards.

Dicko is always stuffing up. One of the worst refs going around atm.
Thankfully he'll never be reffing many wallaby games.
