[QUOTE="dasNdanger, post: 589018, member: 61962"] Just watched the Otago v Waikato game. Great game, and congrats to Otago! One thing, though - and maybe this is because I'm suddenly suspicious of referees based on a comment made in the 'rugby is awful' thread about corrupt soccer/football refs. In the final moments of the game I saw a couple very un-straight scrum feeds by Waikato, and then a possible knock on, both with the ref right there and no call was made (the knock on may have been a knock 'back', but the scrum feeds were glaringly crooked). I usually don't criticize refs too much because I don't really know the game well enough, but these things seemed obvious, yet the ref seemingly ignored them to Waikato's favor. Please tell me there is no corruption in the ranks of the rugby referees (bias I can excuse, corruption I cannot). das [/QUOTE]
