[QUOTE="Larksea, post: 405041, member: 43875"] Crusaders were totally robbed by Dickinson I sat down to watch this game 100% confident that the Saders would win and as soon as I saw Dickinson was the ref I changed my mind and realised the team that won wasn't likely to be the best team. Not just that massive forward pass in the opening try. But his work at the breakdown, lineouts and scrums was amature at best. And I wont even get started on the knock on's he missed, a couple of huge howling knock on's leading up to the reds final drive that won the game. Bad calls went both ways but more went against the crusaders for me to safely say that Dickinson had a major impact on the outcome of the game. It's a massive shame, because if Kaplin, Lawrence or Walsh had been the ref we would have been treated to what I think would have been the game of the season. But in it's place we are reminded of the single biggest problem Rugby faces today - the impact of the ref on the game and the lack of quality consistant refs at the top level. And while we should be talking about how good Carter and Cooper were. Everyone will be talking about how crap the ref was because IMO he had a bigger impact on the game than either of those stars. Thank God he's not at the world cup, the IRB know he's crap. It's about time SANZAR got the memo. [/QUOTE]
