Restraint got the better of me. Now resolved.
Referee had an amazing influence on this outcome. Clear try denied near halftime. Offside rules on kick chase ignored. Norths should have been down to 14 at the 52nd min. Outright incompetence from full officiating crew. AR's absent. Severe tip tackle missed , one of the big strong men who couldn't do his job in the scrum proved quite adept at tipping halfbacks on their head. No sanction and now the Nths crew mounting a "not us " defence on another site.
Interesting that the Nths 7 seems to have completed the full referee control course from the McCaw Institute via correspondence. Certainly paid off big time in this game.
You would have hoped a Super Rugby ref and aspiring Test official would have better skills and knowledge of the game. The fear of making the correct and player safety focussed call as evidenced in the Lions test and the Super Rugby final obviously lost on this clown.
Should get a spell in 2nd grade Colts to reflect.
Hopefully the karma bus revving up.
Get stuck right in Woodies, straight up the centre.
