@Bones @Stargazer so O'Keeffe a Kiwi makes some very dubious calls in a trans Ta$man game in NZ. So the very next week they assign him to a trans Ta$man game in NZ.....
I don't see why this should change given the lack of action against SA assistant ref & TMO over the last few years.
Week in, week out they prove they are biased as hell with continual home town calls / TMO interference. I'm actually convinced it's in their mandate.

I don't give a shit about nation-neutral refs, this is a 'franchise' competition.
It was a TMO error anyway.
A ref missing an off the ball obstruction or off the ball elbow is nothing surprising, exceptional or controversial.
What a fuss about nothing.
There wasn't just one call. There were multiple calls.
Just off the top of my head
Tahs were 25 metres out with time nearly up and he rules a knock on against Tahs at the ruck right in front him when replays show it clearly did not come off the Tahs. Then right at the siren at the end on about halfway a Tahs players gets tipped over the horizontal and no penalty.
@MajorRage I said SANZAAR is a joke. Your examples seem to agree with my point.

@kiwimurph I thought it was a knock on...

@kiwimurph on my phone it clearly comes off a blue hand...

@bones There is footage of it here. Clearly off Matt Todd's hand
Nup. Clear knock on from Hoopah!

@kiwimurph said in Super Rugby News:
@bones todd's right hand is blue?
And badly deformed: twisted with the palm facing the wrong way

@kiwimurph Even if it did come off Matt's hand, Hooper plays it again on the ground.

@taniwharugby How the hell is O'Keefe 'the current New Zealand referee of the year'?
-
@antipodean maybe it is like the media awards where you nominate yourself?

OK injuries causing a change of mind?
"Neither have sat out even one of the two matches All Blacks players are required to, a requirement which was originally slated to be completed before the June test series against France.
However, it's understood franchises now have until the end of the regular season (July 14) to give their representatives their two weeks off. "
Dangerous if rests required at the business end, but you've got to make the play offs first I suppos

His dad's death in those circumstances must have been tough, I hope he can come to terms with himself sooner rather than later
