Kepu was though. Nothing he could do about it.

Fucks sake. Fancy lifting your own player, letting him go and then whinging to the ref that he didn't come down safe.

TMO, Ref. Both look at the same thing and come up with two different decisions. State of the union right there..

Maybe but really? Laws schmaws.. should have just chalked it off. Common sense will save rugby one day, one day. To be honest, I spotted Lacey and his awful positioning earlier. Stood in the way of a half back getting to the ruck earlier on.

...didn't see that.

Holy shit referees. That is shockingly bad. 14 all, French looking good and they get screwed again. Awful!

France looking very good. SBW still doing stupid stuff, if France didn't score he should have gone to the bin for playing that ball in the ruck.

Who says you have to catch the ball at all? You're perfectly allowed to play the ball back. That's how most teams win back kick-offs.

He has no utility as a 10. Didn't he play that part losing to Australia in Brisbane last year. No game management skills, and general decision making (at 10) isn't test standard.

He's certainly no ten is he. Ioane is electric though, just give him the ball and magic happens. Fancy having Savea's international record and not even getting a look in.

And this is the problem. They've taken any rational thought out of the referees head. It's either black or white in probably the greyest sport going.

Ffs. Game ruined again. Just give it a yellow!

Maybe. He certainly had a brain fade today, though he also reffed the AB's at the end of last year and wasn't afraid then.. I'd also say quite a few refs certainly are not intimidated, the All Blacks have been penalised and carded significantly more than their opponents since 2012. I also think...

It's written by MARK. REASON. No credibilty.

Excellent work.. haha. Of course it is.. It's written by an Englishman with a personal vendetta against NZ rugby. He just writes troll hit pieces.

Come on. Whenever the All Blacks get a favourable decision it's bloody institutional "bias", "giving them another one". What about that "bias" when the All Blacks get calls against them, that actually cost games? Don't see the same people moaning about bias then. There's no bloody bias, just...

Oh I agree he's made mistakes on both sides. I don't know if it's too fast but there certainly is a LOT for one set of eyes to take in. They're on a hiding to nothing with the current law setup and their "directives". I'm always hard on them.

Ben O'keefe truly is awful at his job.

Wow, Aaron Smith doesn't bother to run it closer to the posts and Lima fluffs it. Those 2 points better not matter.

And you know how fucked up our game is now? A guy affecting a tackle cops a falling player in the head, gets sent off. The guy that throws a fucking punch stays on the field.
