[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 990450, member: 40658"] For these stats to have any real impact or perspective, there has to be an in depth research on a few things. The generalisation they are making, is again too over the top to take it at face value. I think they will have to look at each and every penalty, and check if it was correct or not. Then they also need to check if there were patterns emanating from the game, like were there repeated infringements, was the team that gave away the penalties playing a negative game plan and other factors such as professional fouls and so on. Then they also need to check which referee was in charge? Some refs are a bit more strict than others, and some blow things more regularly than others. I also think we need to put an asterisk behind the matches Egon Seconds was in charge of, as he has been reprimanded, and it's quite clear and obvious that he is indeed bias. And us South Africans have been the most vocal about this. I wonder however, if the NH referees were more regular features in Super Rugby, if this penalty counts would have been even more, and our referees being more exposed to NH rugby than the other SR refs is a contributing factor to the high penalty count because of their involvement with the Pro14 [/QUOTE]
