[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 815611, member: 40658"] It is, I agree, but that same argument can be used for nearly every facet in the game of rugby. How often have we seen members on this forum complain about how the referees interpret a rule/law? I am one of those people that have frequently complained about Mr. Poite, and his interpretations. Remember the whole Bismarck red card incident for a pretty decent tackle he made on Dan Carter a few years ago? Here he was the same referee where he overlooked an offence that is the view of many, that it was perhaps a red-card offence. For once I am glad, the Springboks weren't involved in the match. Or perhaps the issue is that Mr. Poite is more lenient towards the All Blacks. But then again, we all know that French referees have a tendency to favour the home teams. In both Du Plessis and Franks cases, the match was played in New Zealand where Poite was the referee. [/QUOTE]
