[QUOTE="unrated, post: 906635, member: 45773"] The interpretations of breakdown laws are different betw een the SH and NH. When i saw its a NZ ref i was happy because i knew we would have a good understanding of what was expected and i knew o keefe would (understand?) us. That's how it should be with home advantage, you get a ref with the same law interpretations [B]in terms of[/B] the NH/SH divide. When we play in England then they can get (and they do) a NH ref where SH has struggled in the past. For the next game in Bloemfontein we get Romain Poite. He is our worst nightmare along with that other awful ref named Jerome Garces. No disrespect to the French, very nice country, nice landscape, nice wine and champagne, but worst refs in world rugby by a long shot. Also they schemed and lobbied so hard to take the next world cup away from South Africa i feel that French refs should be banned from South Africa as a retaliatory measure. So yea NH ref for the next game in the series, expect England to benefit more from the interpretations as there is a difference. I was impressed with Daly and May in the England squad. Farrel seems an odd choice for captain? He he is probably one of your better players but not sure of the mentality i witnessed last night. He moaned constantly (He obviously has that right, i'm not taking anything away). Maybe instead focus on the recovery? if Etzebeth or Kolisi or Whiteley acted the same way as him last night then our media would have ripped them apart. [/QUOTE]
