[QUOTE="Klarkash-ton, post: 153232"] Too harsh? Perhaps, but one of rugby great strengths is the way the referee is respected; an attitude rarely shown in other sports. If, therefore, the Chairman of the Official Union of one of the world's great rugby powers (who I believe happens to be a former captain of his national side) comes out with this sort of vehemence against a referee then the Rugby authorities should come down on him (and the post he holds) like a ton of bricks. Such disrespect cannot be allowed to go unchallenged. [/b][/quote] yes. but it's baffling. Usually when you start to look closely at refs decisions 9 times out of 10 the ref is right. Obvious things like forward passes excepted, and it's not like there were dozens of them. I am disappointed with the NZRFU, even if they prove themselves right they lose. [/QUOTE]
