Keep in mind that we changed most of our team for the last group game against Australia as we already had the qualification wrapped up. In the Quarters we played with all of Afrika, Brown and the likes again and it showed.
but if you want to win your whole squad has to be good. In the first group game we only got one attacking opportunity and then it was knock on after knock on and the ref trying gain some widespread publicity by becoming the center of attention of the game.
That french ref keeps on calling the players back if it the tap was not exactly taken on the spot. Thus nullifying the counter attack and limiting the attack of both teams. In the GB vs Argentina game that guy just kept blowing the whistle for the most petty of offences this guy should really go look at how the other refs are managing the games and take some tips.
Yeah, I have to say the standard of the 7's referees are atrocious at the Olympics. Especially that French fellow and the Blitzbokke's nemesis Frederico Anselmi.
Sometimes I think that they just blow the whistle to give themselves a breather...
