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.
