Would have been fine, advantage for White off his feet...

Nine points and yellow in 7 point game where both are cheatting...

Not rolling away from his own side of the tackle?

Slapped off his arm there again

Only if your are aim at the arm as he is doing

By not binding at all

Should be given

I complimented the Bulls for fixing some technical problems they have in their play a couple of weeks ago, sadly they are back to worst play from 2011-12. Steyn is completely static every time he gets the ball. The forwards are not clearing past the ball and one would think that a team that...

Pretty lousy kicks as well

Couple of unlucky calls for the bulls there - speight borderline tackle assist - Smith borderline offside - Brumbies scrum borderline pulling back on the th side

My comment actually refers to the lifting part of the tackle. There was no reason for Lance to lift the player in the first place. Lance was lucky that Hattingh had already lost ball and could break his fall with his hand and also that whole tackle seemed to happen in slow motion. There is...

Kind of agree with this. Lance's technique (though I would stop short of inferring any malice) meant that the player was always going to go past horizontal. On that basis along it deserved some form of sanction, but it was still a very soft yellow. A penalty for potential danger would have...

Weird selection for the Bulls. A center on the wing, a wing a center, Steyn just dropped, Botha just gone, Venter jumping back over Serfontein in the rankings for inside center, two show ponies in loose-trio and two greenhorns in second row.

Australian teams, the waratahs in particular, might do well to show the Cheetahs a little more respect. Since the start of last season they have 4-1 record against Australian side and the one loss came off a pretty controversial set of penalties late in the game.

An excellent website to have look at is http://www.sareferees.com/, go to the duty ref section where elite panel referees answer fans queries and also the video clips where they discuss changes and nuances in the rules.

Meh, can't expect to be everyones best mate every week. I know there have been times when I've been absolutely filthy with refs on the day, but once I've cooled down realising that either the ref was right or that it is just one of those bad luck moments that happen in life and sport. The...

Bit of false argument though isn't it. Does that mean I can not criticize Quade's tackling unless I am willing and able to floor a rampaging super rugby loose forward? Refs at this level are at the very pointy end of their profession and can not be held to the same standard as the rest of us...

It shocking that it doesn't form part of the normal academy course. What would also like to see is rep players serving a ban doing reffing duty in club games. Also guys returning from injury and during bye weekends. Personally I think it would improve them as players and be great way of...
