[QUOTE="FlukeArtist, post: 749769, member: 42995"] Good article here from Gregor Paul in the NZ Herald [url]http://www.nzherald.co.nz/rugby/news/article.cfm?c_id=80&objectid=11518982[/url] Have to agree with what he is saying. The TMO use has gotten crazy. I guess we can complain about refereeing standards most of the time, but that Namibia - NZ game was a tipping point for TMO use. But looking at the 2 ABs games so far, both referees have been poor. Barnes is still not up to standard (IMO) and Poite & Ayoub (and the touchies) were deficient in the Namibia game. Then takes into account the refereeing in Aus-Fiji and Sco-Jpn and you have a mini crisis looming. [/QUOTE]
