[QUOTE="sambãd5, post: 167327"] yes it was the all blacks own fault that they lost. BUT - the reff was deninatly an issue. its times like these you need to have a look at what the refs are doing. the refs were acting on their own, and not as a team. barnes was so far over his head that the touchies should have helped him out. i feel sorry for the poor barstard. when they saw how badly barnes was doing they should have jumped in and helped him out. but they didnt. they were as bad as he was because they have been told to stay out of the game by the irb. they have been tought that the reffereeing job that they have been designated to is to be their sole job and they are not alloud to have ANY more imput than that. then we move on to the video ref. there are (i think) 7 refs in a rugby game 3 on the feild, 3 in the box and one as a substitute (ie like the nz vs sa game where the ref pulled a hammy) the fact that the video ref(s) did not put a message down at least to say "hey mate, theres [offside] play happening, or that there is neumerous [hands in the ruck/ruck obstructions] happening, just keep an eye out for it / stand on other side of the ruck" at the VERY LEAST. this combined effort of reffereeing showed that there is no work done between refs. no team work at all. people forget this. imagine a swat team raiding a house with no communication. it just wouldnt work. refs need to be put through training camps, team building excersises and team bonding sessions JUST LIKE PLAYERS do. and to the extent that they do to. i mean if south africa can put their entire squad through a army boot camp NAKED (2003) then surely we can ask the refferees to spend just a little more time togeather to get adequate teamwork for them.
