[QUOTE="nickdnz, post: 528153, member: 38640"] Can't recall that happening since South Africa introduced neutral referees to international fixtures. On a serious note, I think that targeting Iceman by attacking New Zealanders is a little unfair. NZ did happen to have food poison in 1995, whether it was coincidental or not who cares now. In 2007 we lost because of a poor referee performance. Those two incidents, more than a decade apart are the only two instances I can recall New Zealanders really complaining. There were more than that from Bok fans in the 2010 season (in which 1000's of conspiricies ranging from NZ controling IRB and Paddy O'Brien changing the rules so we would win). NZ is extremely critical of the All Blacks, even when they win we criticise and say they did poorly. Please, if you want to have a go at Iceman fine, he seems to handle it fust fine, but attacking NZ is rough. [/QUOTE]
