[QUOTE="Big_Grumper, post: 867982, member: 75139"] Wow. Just wow. I tend to keep my opinions fairly neutral, despite my love of rugby and recognition that we're all emotional creatures, but I'll offer one here. I was as surprised as most were when the Lions mounted that comeback and yes, some of the calls were questionable, but your accusation of cheating and a "stitch up" smacks of being a poor loser. I backed the Hurricanes to win the game based upon what I'd seen throughout the tournament: an agile pack, quick ball from TJ and an awesome back line. But they didn't turn up, pure and simple. Whether they were tired/jet-lagged is irrelevant; the Lions outplayed them and we shouldn't be debating a couple of questionable refereeing calls. They should have put the game to bed in the first half by not squandering numerous opportunities. [/QUOTE]
