[QUOTE="saulan, post: 1082426, member: 60236"] Just been watching my first game of Super Rugby for the year since it’s made it onto Sky in the UK... Wow there is a massive disconnect in reffing in SR vs European tournaments at the moment (game being Waratahs Rebels watching as a complete neutral). Multiple tackles in the first half where I thought there needed to be reviews at the very least be a penalty or a check, but nothing. I thought that was a bit odd but fine. Then in around the 62nd minute the Rebels winger is running in on goal and the cover defenders first contact head on head. They stop play for the winger as he has stayed down and has to go off for a HIA. I’m thinking definite red card, no need to review as it’s just clear and obvious with no mitigating factor as there is no dipping. And then there wasn’t even a review, the commentators are talking about great cover defense and commitment from the tackler and they go back for a different penalty. For those that have been watching more frequently, is this how it has been throughout the tournament or this is just a poor reffing team? [/QUOTE]
