[QUOTE="psychic duck, post: 678812, member: 48703"] That was a statement posted earlier by another poster, and one that was way off the mark. There's no way at all this gets close to 100 barring the ultimate worst USA performance ever. The All Blacks have faced far worse sides and not even got there before, such as Japan's reserves or an exhausted Canada side playing playing with a 3 day rest at the World Cup. They had home advantage there as well, it should be more likely around the challenge of last year's test than those before. 'Worst refereeing ever' is quite some statement by the way, any specific instances of it? Watch France vs Fiji from 1999, in terms of big calls repeatedly got wrong that was the worst I've seen. Paddy O'Brien missed a Fiji try, and awarded a France try falsely, allowed them to kick a penalty they had already quick tapped, so his decision caused a 17 point swing and on top of that missed a possible red card offence with a French headbutt. Pro12 refereeing is often utterly abysmal standard as well, especially in international periods. [/QUOTE]
