[QUOTE="ABs2011, post: 665685, member: 57663"] He looked like he was getting manipulated a bit, particularly at scrum time. I recall one scrum that led to 3 points where the Southland prop popped up out of the scrum several seconds before he awarded a penalty to Southland which I found od. Also, in real time at the end of the game when he awarded a scrum to Southland, it looked very much to be that NH had not lost the ball, rather it had been stripped by Southlan and therefore should have ben play on. The subsequent last scrum was a disaster as well, I thought he didn't have control at all there and awarded a bit of a strange free kick to NH....Anyway, from what I could see he looked a bit jittery, looked like he was feeling the pressure, was awarding penalties and free kicks on momentum and pressure from the players rather than making each call independently. No doubt he will get better, and maybe Im a little annoyed at losing that one, but from what I could see he very much looked like a ref having his first game. [/QUOTE]
