[QUOTE="Dizzy, post: 514952, member: 21905"] I see what you're saying Larksea, I really do, but if Savea hadn't impeded, who's to say Smith wouldn't have offloaded to Savea or any other Hurricane and they had scored, 7 pts regardless. Or if he had been brought down, what if the Canes won the quick turnover and got over the line?.. It happened early in the game and although it played a part in the result, it wasn't the definitive moment. I agree entirely that it was definitely bad officiating, as soon as I found out Lawrence was the ref, I knew there were going to be some controversial calls and that one was pretty much what I had in mind... My point of it being early in the match though is that, The Crusaders are a quality side who can bounce back and punish teams, they are a quality side who can close out games, oddly enough they couldn't close out this one nor could they punish the Canes.. The match wasn't lost solely on the first obstructed try. [/QUOTE]
