[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 961415, member: 39190"] I have sufficiently calmed down and thought it a good idea to revisit this thread LOL. I think at the end of the day we can all agree it was an atrociously refereed match. It goes both ways and its pointless trying to dissect which side if any would've/could've/should've gotten more out of it. The fact that it was so horribly refereed will inevitably lead to discussion. We all have our own views, interpretations and biases. The thread and reactions (here and elsewhere) could've gone better but surely could've gone worse as well. You must forgive our paranoia in SA please. In general we mistrust authority as our various governments throughout the years do not seem to have the actual people in mind in any circumstances seemingly. And in rugby terms, a few years back there was an e-mail circulating where officials from NZ and Aus were colluding to "get the Yarpies" and that type of thing does tend to stick in the back of the mind. I don't know what I find more offensive, the fact of collusion or the spelling of 'Yarpie' whereas the actual spelling of the common Afrikaans name is spelled 'Jaap' -> 'Japie' as the diminutive.
