[QUOTE="scootz, post: 762560, member: 55596"] The 'bottle being thrown at the ref' incident... Cheika is the man who said it happened. And only Chieka. No one else has so far corroborated it, or supplied any evidence of it happening. That's in a stadium of 90,000 fans, staff, reporters, police, stewards, and 10's of thousands of cameras. Seems if the same uncorroborated story gets re-told often enough it then becomes an internet fact! Jeez, some UK papers reported that Joubert was being pelted with a [B][I]shower[/I][/B] of bottles... ah, yes - of course he was! And the UK papers source for this story... well, they heard it from their Aus media colleagues (so back to the Chieka statement I guess). The only other mention of a bottle being thrown during the entire game relates to a member of the Scottish team hammering a water bottle down onto the ground in frustration at the final whistle and it exploding. It wasn't aimed at anyone, and it never hit anyone. Coincidence? I hope the SRU challenge Chieka on his words as they are very damaging. [/QUOTE]
