Players get better, refs get worse

Chiefs Highlanders just another example of officialdom mediocracy. The rules need to be improved sure, but still refs who just arent up to it, and commentators who are seemingly clueless in front of millions.
Tell me if i'm wrong here but a charge down is ruled as "carried back"? seriously? Matt Cooper? ex All Black? Obviously if the defending team take the ball back and the charge down occurs in goal it will be attacking ball, but a charge down outside the ingoal that goes over the line is classified as carried back? Thats a new one for me.
Then the Horrell reach for the line...why oh why did the clown with the whistle blow when he wasnt sure if it was a try, when the resulting action of play hadnt finished? The Highlanders had managed to clear the ball downfield yet he blew to go to the tmo instead of waiting for the current play to stop. Result?...no try, and a 5m defensive scrum. No great advantage there. And think if the ball hadnt rolled 3" forward there wouldnt have been a knock on so the ref would have had no play to rule on so no restart option available. Goon.
Then Wilson waxing lyrical about Nonu....oh hes tried so hard all night, the play just hasnt gone his way. What a load of bullshit. He was lazy lazy Nonu. Lazy in attack, lazy in support, lazy in defence, and some terrible terrible passes to boot.

Does no one else see the current state of the game? Incredible athletes taking the game to another level but wk after wk refs, linesmen and tmos getting it oh so wrong.

Current AB backline...

Anytime the Bulls are winning means theres something not right in rugby. Commentators talked bout the possession difference but steyn kicked every ball away. Such a simple gameplan from the crusaders. Passing the ball from side to side with a fatty (normally Franks or Crockett) taking it up in midfield before Ellis quickly redistributed to Carter (who simply doubled round the midfield ruck all game) to continued to feed the ball the same way. Result was side to side play from the crusaders with one ruck centre field each time. That tired out the Bulls' pack, and coupled with a safer game in their own quarter complemented by belief and confidence in their own setpiece took away the bulls' one and only game. Made it look easy. Good to see Carter back on his game, too.


Try pick a nz super backline on current form:

9 dont think anyone in world rugby comes close to kerr-barlow at the moment. Followed by perenara and weepu, weepu would get nod as back up simply because perenara's game too similar to kerr-barlow.
10 before last wkd's games i'd have said cruden perhaps backed up by noakes. Blues backs are nigh on unstoppable so the 1st5 gets credit even though his defence is suspect. Now it's all carter backed up by cruden OR slade (reliable, minimal error rate and trustworthy defender). Barrett doesnt get a look in and never should have in my opinion. And too much of a turnstyle in defence. Maybe with age his time will come but he doesnt merit being called an AB.
12 Dont know bout this one. One option is Cruden at 10, Carter at 2nd. Highlanders' Burleigh looks good as does Blues 2nd5 Saiili. Nonu...lazy lazy lazy.
13 Great as nanai williams has been he will and has been found out vs big centres. Conrad smith has been made to look like a boy defensively on 2 or 3 occasions. Rene Ranger is the go here.
11/14 Watching Gear and Savea battle it out for the AB spots has been great. Gear is hard as nails....and not a small boy. Doubt there's many players that hurt more to tackle than him. Savea has upped his skill level and it's been incredible watching him leap for high balls and including deft chips in his game. Cant look outside these 2.
15 Tell me a better fullback around on current form than Piutau.

Ideas?
