[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 737680, member: 20605"] Actually, I like that shirt. The Blue and White hoops are what I have always associated with Los Pumas. My local team, Nelson Bays wore the same colours until the mid 1970s [img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/98915197/TRF/NelsonBaysRugby.jpg[/img] Actually I thought the refereeing was just fine. The only calls of note were 1 - The 4th Argentine try: He was absolutely right with his ruling. There is no Law that says he cannot call time on while medics are still on the field. The only protocol here is, was the injured player in a position where he might interfere with play or be endangered if play continued. He wasn't, so play on. The Pumas were quick to spot the opportunity, the Boks were caught napping. 2 - The disallowed South African try: Again the correct call. Poite was clearly indicating offside a couple of metres back from where the Bok player took the tap kick 3 - The TMO initiated review for the last South African try: Ben Skeen was well within his rights to review this. He only got one look at full speed, at the end of which a Pumas player grounded the ball. What if he had said nothing, and it turned out that Habana didn't actually ground the ball? Skeen would have copped a red ink entry in his Match Assessment. [/QUOTE]
