I thought the reffing was fairly consistent last night, but that doesn't mean I thought it was good.
A couple of concerns.
The Chiefs were consistently playing on the wrong side of the ruck, Entering (reasonably) correctly on the edge of the gate and then driving the defender on the side around and into the back of the ruck where he would get dumped on our ball....everything OK and legal so far, but they would then continue to push in from the side, using it as a deliberate tactic to get on our side of the ball and bugger up our ability to play with clean ball. Van Der Merwe pretty much ignored the cleanliness of the breakdown ball, so there wasn't much good complaining, as we got as good as we were given.
The one which concerned me was the penalty for a high tackle early in the first half, I think it was Willie, contact around the neck, the Chiefs player back slammed a bit, no complaints with that, but in the second half Kyle Godwin gets tackled in a virtually identical fashion in the open field and nothing. I would have been OK with both being called or both being let go, but get the bloody call right and repeat it, it aint that hard!
Breakdown was a mess all night and that was due to the reffing. (although that might be a point in our favour)
