Lions v Highlanders
-
@taniwharugby Yep, but this Highlandeers 6 - 8 line-up just doesn't make sense, otherwise.

@Stargazer Bloody Rasta, so trash. Might be a mish for the Landers to get up as they have the travel factor and a trash referee. Not to mention the injuries.

@Stargazer said in Lions v Highlanders:
@Yeetyaah He was okay in the Bulls v Crusaders game, last week.
Yeah I thought he was good last week.
I'm generally not as critical as others on here of the Refs, but my impression is it's generally a fast and open game when he's in charge.
-
@SammyC What I, particularly, liked last week, was that the TMO was trying very hard to convince him to yellow-card a Crusaders player (Goodhue?) for a borderline high tackle (there was nothing in it), but Rasta wouldn't have a bar of it and only awarded a penalty.

Yeah he's shit at 7s but decent at 15s.

Bloody good game of rugby.

@MiketheSnow You are freaking kidding surely? Freaking Rasta is a poor excuse for a ref Lions players off their all game high tackles all over the shop and not pulled up. Games was a load of bullocks. Oh and Faddes is rubbish.

Entertaining, competitive match with Lions deserved winners.

@MiketheSnow Spoken like a neutral with noyjing riding on it!

It's pretty disgusting, if I could be ar$ed I would compile a home ref penalty count for SA, Oz, and NZ during international games. I accept it will be slightly in home teams advantage, human nature, but
"Aaron Mauger's side were also hammered 12-3 in the penalty count by South African referee Rasta Rasivhenge, and the Lions now have an astonishing 42-6 penalty count in their favour in home games against the Highlanders, Waratahs and Rebels with local referees in charge."
Is disgusting
