Pickerall is always super quick on the breakdown penalty.
Consistent both ways but the problem is it means the games he refs are super stop start.
My problem with breakdown penalties, and this is not just him, is that often there will be at least one or two attackers cleaning out the guy going for the ball, and they still get the penalty anyway despite the fact it all happens in a split second. (Unless of course they changed that law since I last read the laws).

@Tim both teams finding ways to lose this game , Auckland probably the bigger culprit

@KiwiMurph he favours on the defensive team over the ball, does not even give the tackle player time for a clear release ..to me this is his biggest weakness and also seems to pick and choose when players are cleaned out from the side ..

Pickerall blows so many holding on penalties.
Usually the wrong decision too!
This game was closer than I thought it would be. Waikato defended well against the bigger outside backs. We've played all year with blindsides at lock and no real openside since Mitch was injured. Hopefully something to build on.
Well done Auckland.
