I could find easily a dozen examples during the game of players on the wrong side that weren’t penalised
Go on then. Is it as easily as Tiatia scores tries?
Do you want circles or arrows?
Probably doesn't matter as long as it spells CHIEFS RULZ
Or Canes, or whoever he’s supporting this week.

I'm hopeless at betting but if I wasn't I'd be looking at the Farce and Brumbles

Berry gets rewarded with a top of the table clash.
And yet Amy Perrett can't get a gig. Astonishing.
-
@antipodean she changed her name to Graham Cooper so she could get paid the same as the other refs.

@bones lol after the Waratahs try where he blatantly impeded the Canes from tackling the ball carrier, I’m surprised he’s even reffing this week. That was also after an obvious crooked throw aswell which made it even more sceptical.

Side note on that - can a TMO rule on a crooked throw? It's the touchie's call rather than the ref, but on replay that throw was clearly bent enough to be called back.
I'm less worried about the ref obstruction, his positioning was fine and if an All Black did it he'd be lauded for an intelligent play. Aaron Smith has been doing it for decades.

I think the difference is that Smith isn't named as the ref, despite being in charge of the game.

ok, i have a feeling this is a loaded question
IF, we are committed to strickly a Trans Ta$man / Pacific comp....does that change anyones opinion on allowing AB qualified players playing for Aussie/PI teams?
Theyre not lost to NZ fans, still playing in the same comp, but might distribute a little of the talent, make this thing more competitive, maybe still have to be signed with a NZ NPC team

Why would you entrust the development of potential future All Blacks to the coaching and administration that's overseen their current malaise?
