I agree
I have not watched the game, and probably never will. But I do share your frustrations. The New Zealanders are the masters of this sort of stuff.
So. What do we do about it? Maybe coach our players to play the way that any particular referee is allowing? No point us playing to our rules, is there? We have to learn to play to the referee's rules.
I dislike the officiating at the ruck where England are clearing players out well past the ruck and holding on to them on the ground.
I dislike the ref not insisting they need to release the tackler before going for a turnover.
The ref is helping. .
