Waratahs v Blues

[ACT Crusader]

I’ve watched the two previous games today and this half and the officiating of the ruck has been so different, you’d almost think they were three different sports.

This guy is so quick to blow the whistle, whereas in the Drua/Chiefs match, the player over the ball had to have at least in grasp before the whistle blew.

I get the whole playing to the ref and planning for it, but I don’t think it’s too hard to ask for the same competition to have something that resembles consistency in ruck interpretation.

@ACT-Crusader Apparently he was a sevens ref.

As all the really shit ones were - they've no feel for XVs. Ravashitne being a prime example.

[chimoaus]

Blues skills have been bloody poor tonight.

[antipodean]

Terrible pass from Eklund off the back of the lineout. To think Riccitelli is the form hooker.

They were bloody poor last week

Too many journeymen in this team

[KiwiMurph]

That will be coming back as well

Obstruction again

[antipodean]

That try won't stand with Sotutu taking out a defender.

[African Monkey]

Fuck me Jordan Way there was an advantage....

[KiwiMurph]

Haha Way is awful

[Tim]

This ref is a fucking idiot.

[antipodean]

Good work Dalton pressing the point.

[chimoaus]

Has Dalton got special order AFL shorts?

[Mattasaurus]

ref could get a job in the NRL bunker...

This is some very average refereeing.

Do we need to get Pickerell out of retirement

[chimoaus]

Blues need points here.

[Victor Meldrew]

Sotutu looks to be developing into a lot more skilful player. Some nice touches tonight.

[Canes4life]

Get it out Christie
