I call bullshit. Especially after all the shit you guys have give McCaw and the ABs over the years for apparently manipulating and intimidating officials. Not to mention the carry on over Paddy O'Brien and Stu Dickinson.
But when people make comments that the All Blacks and McCaw are unfairly favoured by referees, you and most New Zealanders quite rightly call bullshit and tell people that it's nothing but tinfoil hat stuff.
This incident would be being treated more seriously if it was more serious. There were multiple witnesses (the Assistant Referees) who attested that the conversation was polite and nothing untoward happened.
If there hadn't been witnesses or the witnesses described something else then a more thorough investigation and hearing would have been required.
You have kept bringing up
facts that 1. Cheika spoke to Peyeper at halftime when he shouldn't have. 2. The 2nd half penalty count was 9-1 to the Waratahs and 3. There was a dubious yellow card against Jerome Kaino.
You're leaving out perhaps the key fact of the whole matter that the contents of Peyper and Cheika's discussion is known and it entirely centred around Cheika asking for clarification on the sequence of scrums before half time.
