[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 494257, member: 20605"] If you are talking about the obstruction call on Carter in the 76th min, then its hardly fair to blame Jaco for that. It was a crap call made by Assistant Referee, Pro Legoete. There was no obstruction whatsoever; Carter was entitled to run his support line, and didn't have to get out of the defender's way. I'm afraid Mr Legoete is not up to the necessary standard for this level of rugby. Some South African friends of mine tell me he has had a few shockers in the Currie Cup and Vodacom Cup as well. IMO, he's a [I]"transformation referee"[/I]; there to keep the likes of Oregan Hoskins happy. This is not the first time he has imagined offences that no-one else has seen. I recall a red card he recommended as Assistant Referee in one match for a head butt that never happened. It had everyone from both sides scratching their heads. He was also Duty Ref on the sareferees website some time ago and was asked a Law question. He gave an answer that was [U]wrong in Law[/U], and had to be corrected by Mark Lawrence a week later. Hopefully, this wrong call is one critical error too many, and he gets the boot now. [TEXTAREA]NOTE: For interest, here is the video of his cock-up where he recommended the Red Card (slide forward to 5:45) [media=youtube]Cs1S7nASQ9I[/media] SANZAR referees boss Lyndon Bray said the red card decision was reviewed and it was clearly wrong. The player concerned had the red card expunged from his disciplinary record. [/TEXTAREA] [/QUOTE]
