[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 875536, member: 45598"] I'd take issue with this mentality more than Cockerill having a swipe at notoriously bad officiating. Players trying to get rules enforced correctly so they aren't put at a disadvantage should not be criticised, had Johnny Sexton not demanded that Ben Whitehouse go to the TMO for Munster's disallowed try on Saturday a completely invalid try would have been given that could have lost Leinster the game, similarly reminding a referee that the opposition are flirting with a yellow card due to consistent infringing shouldn't be frowned upon especially when telling s referee he is downright wrong isn't part of the sport at all. Similarly criticising consistently bad officiating, which has been that way for years, shouldn't be heavily criticised. The "old school" ethos of accepting a referee's first instinct as gospel would be far more damaging to the integrity of rugby than instances like this. [/QUOTE]
