[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 797713, member: 39190"] Rugby and teh way people percieve the referee's performance is hugely intriguing to me. I actually thought the ref was a huge boost to the Jaguares' chances. Certainly there were a number of times the Sharks benefitted from the ref in that I think they sealed off a number of rucks where I felt they should've been blown up for them but crucially I felt the Jaguares were very lucky indeed to get the 2nd try which I felt wasn't a try at all and there were other intances where the Jaguares got a scrum where the laws as I understand them would've called for a penalty against them both on the Sharks' line. How Creevy escaped without even a penalty for pile driving Deysel into the ground is beyond me. The Sharks also recieved a yellow card for their first call of off-side in their 22 whereas the referee lectured and warned the Jaguares IE he was more harsh on the Sharks so I don't buy into the statements on here that the jaguares got the short end of the stick. It kinda felt like the ref were making up his own interpretations so as to not antagonize the crowd to me at times. A number of times the teams were clearing rucks from the side but only the Sharks got blown for this and only the once. Also I remember a Sharks player getting his hands on the ball once before a ruck had formed. He couldn't get it out as the player on the ground was holding tight and support did arrive shortly and rather than call for a penalty for the Sharks the ref told the Sharks player to release. Bizarre but it happens. I guess hwat I am getting at is that I felt the referee performance was inconsistnet but certainly not deliberately bias or fully against any particular team. Off of that and the fact I am less than impressed with refereeing performances across the entire tournament and not just this season (even if I know I myself would certainly do worse I have to admit) I see no reason not to allow a couple of Argentine referees to cut their teeth in these games.
