The refereeing in the Scotland Figi match was, sadly, so emblematic of the bias' that exist in world rugby. The ref warns Fiji based on a scrum alliance infringement?! Really...it lookedike the fix was in, but the proof was th 37th minute.. Fiji has just scored, at 35:11 the Scotland 5 is fully one step offside ( the ruck line is on the 22 in virtue of the Fijian had on said line, the referee says 'back 5 blue' and he doesn't move one iota. The the box kick is made, 5 blue moves from an offside position ( which the ref has said a mere 2 seconds earlier if offside) and the stationary figian forward is penalised for obstruction?! He doesn't even move, and blue 5 coming from an offside position brushes up against him. ARE YOU KIDDING ME. This is but one of the atrocious calls..this is shameful refereeing..not only was blue offside, white didn't do anything wrong... entirely consistent with his effort all night...this ref decided long before he ran into the pitch who would win this match...I love rugby, but I hate seeing this unequivocal bias from some referees
