Do rugby refs cheat, are they affected by personal bias or are they just blind?

This article concludes that they were all judgement calls and not errors.... but is it not funny that all these "judgement calls" just happened to go against the Sharks.

I find it interesting that not one article thus far has discussed the TMO try awarded to the 'Tahs..... I (and Garth Wright at half time) am convinced Kankowski had his hand under the ball preventing the try! Perhaps this has not been discussed as the refs decisions can be written off as being human and making mistakes in the heat of the moment or judgement calls but the TMO has no such luck!

EDIT : Ahh, I see AMG has also raised the TMO call so at least three of us saw it!

The other countries already think we moan to much. They say we think that the whole world is conspiring against us.

Dude, open your eyes, they are conspiring against us! Have you not noticed how whenever we win the world cup there is all of a sudden a mad rush to change the rules of the game!!

Bloemfontein – SANZAR’s refereeing bosses have given Australian official Paul Marks a red card.

South Africa’s Pro Legoete will also not officiate again in this year’s Super 14.

It is just because they brand us as playing unattractive rugby that will ruin the status of the game in Aus. They always moaned about our rugby style, the way we seem to kick allot. They changed allot of rules to curb the dominance of the All Blacks too. It is not good for a sport if their is no one that compete with another team.
