[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 384989, member: 20605"] I have no allegiance either way, but I have to say, from a referees perspective, that Ian Smith was sub-standard, and the Chief's scrum was really hard done by. Smith appeared utterly clueless as to what was going on in the scrum. Blind Freddy could see that Afoa was binding incorrectly and turning in on the Blues' TH side. Then, after several resets and penalties to the Blues for the Chiefs supposedly either collapsing or "not driving straight", Smith finally decides to come around onto that side of the scrum. As if by magic, all the trouble on Afoa's side stops happening, but so does the Blues' forward scrum momentum, and they are forced to use the ball, then are penalised for sealing off at the first breakdown.
