It belongs in the match thread. . It was after all in that game the conspiracy became apparent to all.P.S. You're all fucking up the Waratahs 2015 thread with this shite. Why don't we put it all somewhere else?

Spoke to a top level ref pretty recently about this.
He said that considering the refs room is invariably next door to the change rooms, interactions between coaches and refs at half time happen frequently.
This case, he said, was like many others he has seen- a quick question asked of the ref as the coach wanders back up to the box. Ref was happy to answer, and everyone walked away happy.
Storm in a fucking teacup if ever I saw one.

Seeing that you like to rely on the NZ Herald, maybe you neglected to read these parts of their last article:
The Herald was told that in this instance, the incident didn't meet the threshold to trigger a judicial hearing as Cheika was neither aggressive nor abusive and nor did he use foul language.
All were reminded not to enter the referee's room at halftime yet Sanzar was adamant in its released statement that it is neither an offence or against the rules to do so.

"But the prevailing view in New Zealand is that using the break to enter the referee's room - regardless of intent or content - is a serious offence and should automatically be considered a breach."
"The Herald spoke to several current and former persons with extensive Super Rugby match experience and none could recall a similar incident. All agreed that a coach having any kind of halftime dialogue with a match official would be a serious concern."
"There was further confusion about Sanzar's need to write letters to all Super Rugby coaches after the incident."
Bullrush.
Three posts in a row. What are you doing?
Take a break from it, mate.
Think you all need to can it.. no good can go on.. I understand Bullrushes point.. it's bullshit that cheika went to the talk to the ref it's not on and should have known better.. but its been ruled on and dealt with..
Bullrush, I would be cranky too if it happened against the Brumbies.. But can't we all just get along..
P.S.. I thought this photo was appropriate
Narr All good Bro, your team beat mine tonight.. its always horses for courses. (pun intended).Just got home from a gig - still wired and about to hit the wall but pretty pissed off at the way I'm being treated here to be honest. Might go play some rugby tomorrow and let someone cop it
Someone should organise a GAGR game one day.
Me either, but my Rum's are tasting good.. I will sort it out tomorrowThe photo isn't showing for me.
ha, your NSW team are the defending champions! They made it to the very top just a few short months ago! You should try being from bloody motherf**king Auckland for 10 minutes.I absolutely hate being an Australian rugby fan, I'm so on the verge of giving up.

So what if NSW are having a rocky descent from the summit. Barking their shins on a few rocky outcrops as the negotiate their way down from the peak. At least they've made it to the summit!
Once.
