[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 463563, member: 39190"] I don't care about any conspiracies but I also thought Joubert should have stopped play for injury at one time; I remember a Frenchman was down and play was being continued and the downed player and medical staff were in the middle of play! Very dangerous and a definate influence on the game IMO. IE Joubert should have stopped play. TBH I don't think Joubert had his best game to date but won't go as far as saying he intentionally favored NZ. That said, I do think that at some level the occasion and context with the resultant pressure got to him as there were a few missed high tackles and some inconsistent blowing. That said, the home team generally gets the 50/50 calls go their way so I wouldn't say it was a farce or that NZ didn't deserve their win. All in all I think Joubert's performance on the night was one of the better ones in the play-offs which is a scary thought LOL. At the end of the day NZ won the ***le and are deserving holders. Congrats, guys. [/QUOTE]
