[QUOTE="Pampas, post: 797838, member: 70388"] I dont like using the ref as an excuse, moreover when Jaguares committed many mistakes that cost us the game, like losing that very last scrum. But its undeniable that the ref cost us at least 16 points. On this video there are images and comments on each play, so no further comment is needed: [url]http://www.espn.com.ar/video/clip/_/id/2677269[/url] Even If the second try of Jaguares had not been awarded, with those 16 points it would have been enough to win. I Agree with Cruz that espn journalysts (some are former pumas) have a close relstionship with some jaguares players to be critical enough, however in this case the proofs are too obvius to overseen them. What I mean is that in most of the 50-50 calls, refs go against us probably because we are the new boys, our federation is the weakest and least influential, and probably the poorest of Sanzaar. This is not too different from what many SA and OZ fans say about NZ. Dont get me wrong, i think that noone here denies how much Jaguares need to improve, and that our current management probably wont have the answer to our problems. Refs are not to blame If we easily lose the ball in contact or If we dont have a reliable kicker apart from Nico Sánchez. But I have the feeling that we need to defend one or two steps behind the offside line to avoid penalties, and that we have 2 or 3 seconds less than the rest, which is an advantage we cannot afford to give. I could be wrong, and may be I just cannot take so many frustations, game After game, but I cant help feeling like that. [/QUOTE]
