    I don't give a shit about nation-neutral refs, this is a 'franchise' competition.

    It was a TMO error anyway.

    A ref missing an off the ball obstruction or off the ball elbow is nothing surprising, exceptional or controversial.

    What a fuss about nothing.

      Although if he is from Wellington/ Hurricanes catchment - then yes, I agree he shouldn't be doing it. Same as NPC norms I've grown up with.

      But this fuss doesn't have much to do with that, but the administration will trip over that I thinks

        @Bones @Stargazer so O'Keeffe a Kiwi makes some very dubious calls in a trans Ta$man game in NZ. So the very next week they assign him to a trans Ta$man game in NZ.....

        I don't see why this should change given the lack of action against SA assistant ref & TMO over the last few years.

        Week in, week out they prove they are biased as hell with continual home town calls / TMO interference. I'm actually convinced it's in their mandate.

          As a 'hurricane'/ Wellingtonian. Surely O'Keefe would have wanted the Crusaders to lose?

            There wasn't just one call. There were multiple calls.

            Just off the top of my head

            Tahs were 25 metres out with time nearly up and he rules a knock on against Tahs at the ruck right in front him when replays show it clearly did not come off the Tahs. Then right at the siren at the end on about halfway a Tahs players gets tipped over the horizontal and no penalty.

            @MajorRage I said SANZAAR is a joke. Your examples seem to agree with my point.

                            Must I add that in the build up to Rona's try, Israel Folau was a mile offside ?
