Last nights game was a influenced by the ref. But we also did not play all that great.

THe ref was a tad quick to call us for any ruck infringements but let them get away with murder.

O well we live we learn.

Ps our scrum was K'ak:mad:

thought the ref was terrible
but in our favour

one of the tries was off a very blatent knockon by one of ours... he even had to get his fingers medical attention afterwards cuz he knocked the ball on so badly he nearly broke his fingers

then the other try had a forward pass in it

so all in all we got properly beaten last night
not the refs fault, not a badly sung anthems fault
just all round beaten by a better team, unfortunately it must be admitted

Mmmm don't know what game you were watching but I presume the forward pass you are talking about was part of the last try?

As far as the ref goes he was really not on par.

Riot has it spot on, the one try was a definite knock on. if anyone is to blame, its the boks, they had a 18-6 lead at halftime and should have put the game in the bag.

Even if the ref might have made 1 or 2 dubious decisions against the Boks, they should have still been 10-15 points clear of Saracens.

I was not debating the fact that we played piss poor BUT the fact is the ref was shlt (no im not saying he only favoured them... Im saying he was ka'k finish and klaar). 10+ bad calls at rucks and he was very very very inconsistant. I know the NH refs see the rules a bit differently than SH reffs but bloody hell.....

This team is useless, cant we call them something else. Like "The Proteas". :D

This is embarrassing for us saffers living in the UK. At least everyone in SA can walk around as if nothing happening. I have to face grinning poms all day, ffs
