referees

I hope the referees don't blow teams off the park....in the past a lot of referees have officiated pacific island teams harshly especially in the tackle area...some tackles around the chest area have been called high when they were clearly legal. Lets hope they don't come with preconceived ideas about these teams and they are able attack through their defence. The entertainment will be huge and the hits...I can't wait

And lets hope they don't miss any cynical high tackles. Don't want any serious neck injuries in a big game with the whole world watching.

I'm hoping the referees give Bakkies a red card before he steps off the aeroplane. It would stop the whole charade of waiting for him to try and kill someone on the field before he gets sent off.

It wouldn't be a complete world cup without some souvenir eye-balls.

Much like how the Manu Samoa were able to rattle the wallabies in their last encounter....there were many legal hard tackles around the chest area that stung the wallabies and lifted the manu samoa.....e.g tackles by Tuilagi on Mark Gerrard and Rod Davies....I'm not one that condones illegal tackles and high shots, but I love the contact area of rugby. I believe everyone plays to their strengths and the contact area is the pacific teams strength. I hope the referees allow these teams to tackle hard to play their natural game to intimidate, disturb and disrupt the more established nations......
