[QUOTE="first5eight, post: 766359, member: 70448"] The problem imo is that the rules are to open to interpretation. One refs tackler release is slower than another, ones going off the feet & rucked formed is different from another and basically most forward/ruck decisions are one individuals personal call on the game. A lot of matches are completely ruined by over zealous definition of the rules by the ref and they end up controlling the real flow & thrust & punch of the game which is the players job, not theirs. It's worse when the ref interprets one thing for one side and its completely different for another. It happens in Super Rugby all the time, one team will get all the penalties at the crucial times to get ahead and then the ref will even up the count at the end when the game is gone. It's happened a few times as well at international level as well.. [/QUOTE]
