Don't you know, perception is evidence. See Beale/Patston/McKenzie saga......

But as I understand it, a coach isn't allowed to speak to the ref at half time - politely or not. That's why there had to be an investigation.

So who made the complaint? One of the other match officials or someone from inside Tahs camp?

I guess the question I have is why give a warning when he's got a 6 month suspended sentence in place. On the face of it the warning was sent when he got the suspended sentence and Cheika has made a mockery of them.

waiopehu - I don't think Kahui had played much wing at all certainly not for the Mooloo or Chiefs. When he first came into the ABs he played at centre and was seen as such. He played some NPC at 12. What I recall was that when we lost Sivi, Rok, and then H. Gear's form was up and down and...

Well done OZ, a shame it didn't mean anything for the tourney. Given their shock losses to Portugal and Scots.

That's a big if......

You're kidding right. He raised something during a sanctioned rugby game. His team mate was part of the complaint. He will have nothing to answer for from the ARU

Ahh the classic, what about what's going on in the Middle East argument. There are far less noteworthy matters that have received far more media attention than this story. Also I think it's quite simple, if you think there has been media over reaction, then turn it off and watch/read something...

Or else qwerty is going to be outraged and write it on a rugby forum with armchair critics and weekend warriors...... That's what! :)

Kaino should be back for this one. Blues have real problems at 9/10 this season. Their midfield is a revolving door and the back 3 is playing poorly as a unit. Tahs by plenty

It's got nothing to do with political correctness or incorrectness, name calling is still name calling. Better to not do it all. Plenty of other ways to get in the oppositions head without resorting to any name calling.

32 next year? Hardly over the moon. Plenty of footy left in him. A squad needs all shapes, sizes and ages.

It's obvious. Scott Johnson as Director of Scottish national side is targeting young NZ players as part of a grand Aussie scheme which Cheika is a part of.

That was Kevin Locke I always liked Locke as a Warriors and Kiwis supporter. But he is a midget and can't really kick.

Yeah I agree. They went to far past the line allowing the Highlanders to pile in.

The one that doesn't see the ball grounded and asks the TMO for assistance I guess..... I thought the breakdown work of the Tahs was surprisingly sloppy tonight. Lacked any real cohesion in attack and then had bodies flying in when it wasn't necessary. As someone else posted, the Landers fanned...

It wasn't just the intercept, it was his ability to break the line that had us scrambling which expended a lot of energy on what was a humid Sydney night. I don't doubt Smith played well though, he had the invisible cloak on that night off his feet and on his knees at most rucks...., :)

Agree BH. I'd say forget about trying to strike the fear into the opposition (thats just guff for journos and commentators), just play well and win is what's needed. If you can still win with for example messy scrum ball or losing LO ball then so be it. That to me is what would worry teams is...

Were you voting Slim :) I usually don't pay that much attention to official MOTM awards given they're usually as credible as the straw polls on here. The most dominant performance on that night and the player that changed the game was the Evil Wizard wearing 13.
