[QUOTE="Nubiwan, post: 852482, member: 43441"] Worst thing in the world is when a refs performance dictates the outcome of a close game, as this one was. The Duffie incident could easily have been penalized, and the ref would not have been questioned. As it panned out, it raises eyebrows. Ruined the contest in some respects. Certainly made the blues job more difficult, There was a game featuring the Bulls or stormers in NZ earlier in the series, where I thought several of the early decisions very harsh against the SA team. Pretty sure it was bulls v cru. The game ended a washout for the crusaders, but they were up 17 odd points inside 10 minutes, thanks to some very iffy reffing. As a complete northern hemi neutral, I tend to side with and underdog, or perhaps the away side. Reckon I just don't like a ref being the focal point of any sporting event. [/QUOTE]
