All Blacks vs Wallabies, August 7th 2010, Fifth Tri Nations Test

Guys, I don't think you can accuse madflyhalf of whining. Surely posters are allowed to voice their opinions about things that happened in the game (as opposed to just general whining about conspiracies, referee bias and alleged favorable treatment.) If not, then what is the point of having a discussion forum in the first place?

Why the have been penalised 45 times (at least 6 professional fouls) in this 3N and didn't even have a card?

Also, remember that the penalty count doesn't tell the whole story. You also have to take into account the number of times penalty advantage is played that does not end in a penalty being awarded because the non-offending team gets an advantage so the penalty "lapses". These have been awarded a lot more against South Africa and Australia than New Zealand.
 
I know some people are complaining about some refereeing, however, great sides like this AB one don't get affected by the man in the middle. Even in a match if refereeing decisions did go against the ABs they would still find a way to win. A team needs to find a way of beating this AB team with smarter attacking play. The ref is irrelevent.
