Reds v Highlanders
-
Hunt is a great kicker. 12-7
-
Shit that was poor by Lentjes.
-
Unnecessary flashy shit...
But crap kick to start with -
Typical halfback trying to dispute it.
-
Great distribution by Lentjies...
-
We got one 🍻
-
Two dumb arses getting a YC
Some inconsistent officiating.
Missed penalty
And we're still right in this... C'mon boys -
That could easily have been caleb Clarke 2.0 there

My final word on the bias debate is that I personally found it very difficult to referee a team I had any association with. I am pretty sure I was much harder on "my" team than the opposition.
Maybe a few years ago there was some scullduggery but these days I refuse to believe that any professional referees show bias (one saffer ref excluded who was quietly disposed of).
That's not to say there isn't an advantage derived from teams being refereed in a manner that they are used to/familiar with.
