[QUOTE="Thingimubob, post: 513257, member: 20956"] Yupp! Example: Last week, Pollock didn't give one penalty for sealing off last, and it seemed to be Australias main tactic to stop Wales getting anywhere near their ball at the breakdown. If they'd tried that with someone like Nigel Owens or Wayne Barnes, they'd get pinged time and time again. My guess is Australia are used to Pollocks reffing style from Tri Nations/SuperXV, knew he's not hot on penalizing it, so targeted that as a tactic to use, especially since they didn;t do it in the first or last test. Anyway, what definitely lost us the game was all those stupid bloody penalties from mucking up the restarts, think at least 9 points can be put down to that. Such a cheap way to give away points.
