[QUOTE="Umaga's Witness, post: 916374, member: 65365"] The ref wasn't overly bad, as far as refs go, I thought. I agree that he should listen to the TMO but I've seen this kind of call a lot. Some refs judge that if you don't move your body a second time you can move your arms as many times as you want The assistant ref told the ref that it was in the tackle. I wouldn't have chosen SBW if I were going to send one person off at that time, but someone(or four) had to go. It should have been cane, at least. At the start of the set of phases before SBW got sent off there were three deliberate attempts to bring down the maul within about 10 seconds. All of those players should have been sent off, or at least cautioned (but that would have been an overly soft call given the circumstances. Note, Cane was actually cautioned but really should have been binned) because all of them were acting cynically. So, on that occasion, the referee was actually incredibly biased toward the All Blacks. Just some softening perspectives for those points you made.... [/QUOTE]
