You guys get so stuck into the refs. The Blues and Chiefs lost to the better team on the day. Vok that's not so difficult.

^^^^^^^ I never blame a ref for a result but that is so obviously at least a YC even before WR (World Rugby)'s most recent contact-with-the-head protocol that it just defies belief they both saw it as a penalty only. The fact Treeby has now been cited tends to reinforce that view.

As I posted earlier, the second Duffie YC was for something that gets let go multiple times in just about any given game any given week so why, all of a sudden & having let Treeby off with a penalty only for what was on any viewing a far greater offence, do they decide it's YC material? Odd, to say the least.

Veldsman's penchant for odd decisions is well known & goes back to 2011 at least, van Heerden is rapidly moving into Stu Berry territory.

Refs are human and make mistakes. Not only in rugby in every sport. Rugby players are coach from age 7 to play to the refs whistle. Look like this don't happen in NZ.

^^^^^^^^^ Blues aren't my team, nor are the Chiefs & if anything their losses are my teams gain. So not depressed at all. Thanks for the concern, tho.

Can you not see how incongruous it is to penalise a guy for knocking someone out with a swinging arm yo the head, but carding another for unnecessarily & potentially dangerously flopping on top of someone?

Don't you realise that it happen every where in rugby. Even in NZ provincial rugby. Its part of rugby and luckily a rugby expert like yourself on an Aussie forum won't change this.

This has nothing to do with blaming a ref for a loss or "playing to the whistle". It's about the inability of two referees with the aid of real time, replay, and slo-mo replay being unable to recognise a dangerous tackle as at least a YC, if not red under World Rugby edicts and precedent this year. This is not marginal stuff; it's a shocker of a call. Refs should absolutely be accountable for such howlers.

That Lions side is up there with the quality of the NZ sides. People say they have had an easy draw but last year they had the harder draw taking the NZ teams and made the final.

They look like they enjoy their rugby and they play for each other. Basic stuff but it makes all the difference. They also have that culture where any member of the squad if called into the 22 can just slot in at the highest standard like the NZ teams can.

Well said mate.

The reffing group had a shocker. I personally think it didn't cost the result, because both teams played some poor footy. They missed some stuff that have resulted in cards - Treeby, Ofa Tu'ungafasi both incident S should've been reviewed and called out for cards.

Nothing to do with playing to whistles, bagging refs, what you learn at under 7s, or being sore losers, the very inconsistent performance was baffling to say the least.

Seems about right. As does this:

Seems it's not just Australians who have an issue with their incompetence.....

No it's not. Veldsman is a walking (or talking) disaster. Remember he USED to be a ref and got cut for not being up to it.

We have all called for more ref accountability. Allegedly there is this review system but we have not seen a ref get sanctioned.

The question is this. Let;s for argument say they institute a three strikes and you're out for a round policy. Would that have changed the Treeby incident going unnoticed?

And is it bias, incompetence or both? Careful, suggest bias and you infer that bad decisions made everywhere are due to bias if it is a home ref.

Who the feck would want to be the ref, let alone the guy who gas to manage them. No thanks.

You can substitute this discussion in ALL sports. Soccer, NFL, basketball. Endless whingeing about the ref. Don't really know if there is a solution unless you have a panel of 10 TV refs and they stop the game every 5 minutes and review everything. One Kiwi, one Aussie, one Saffa, an Argie, a Pom, a Japanese, an Azerbaidjene...just to be sure there's not bias.
