[QUOTE="SomeOke, post: 937972, member: 59145"] I don't necessarily think the ref made any "wrong" calls but it did seem like he was reffing the teams to a slightly different standard, he was extremely strict on the Rebels in the breakdown area with regards to the "daylight" rule but didn't apply it so harshly with the Lions, likewise with off sides. Rebels displine was bad though, I don't think that's a controversial statement, two weeks in a row where there primary defensive strategy is to infringe in the red zone. Scrums were an absolute dog show, for a relatively high scoring game there was waaaay to much dead time in this game. Do feel like the Rebels took their foot off the gas and went into their shell in the second half, a little more killer instinct would have served them well, just because you are 20+ points up doesn't mean you should try and slow down the game to a crawl and stop trying to score points. From a player perspective I really liked the look of Tyrone Green (Lombard had some good touches too), Mapoe and Coetzee did really well off the bench which shows maybe they needed a little time on the bench to keep them humble. Simelane continues to impress and the relatively new Lions props look good (specifically Sitole and Sadie). [/QUOTE]
