How the hell is a player supposed to be able to move there? What a fucking shit ref this clown is.
Being unable to move is still your fault, intent does not matter, your there and shouldn't be. Commentators have even stopped whinging about those calls

Clear clean out of Highlanders player away from the ruck ,if Williams wants to play traffic cop be consistent

I know it's early season, but even if his form falls away a bit, I don't see how Stevenson can be ignored for higher honours.
He’s having a 2015 Milner Skudder year so far.

Yeah, agreed, but Frizell was trying to hold him up. He didn't and fell on the wrong side. It should be a penalty but never a yellow.

Utter nonsense. Every referee course knows that when a player is trapped by actions of others that they should apply some leniency. Every Chiefs player pinned him into the ground with no option to escape.

Stevenson is looking quite big too...
how good was that, but some poor defence

@Stargazer said in Chiefs v Highlanders:
@hydro11 A yellow, because Cane talked to the ref. Captains have too much influence on some refs.
Yeah, refs are terrible. The Highlanders just need to get 2 penalties, for their captain to ask the ref for a card and the Chiefs will get one.

Whereas all our tens look shit
I haven't been watching much but DMac has looked great in the last ten.
Weber's pass is like he's a different player - and you can see the effect it's having on opening up space everywhere.

More that he can't kick points, which can be quite important

I think far too many get away with slowing down play by "accidentally" falling on the wrong side, I would hope for no leniency there.

That clearly wasn't what happened though in this situation.
