@Duluth I'm pleased that they show clips of refs getting it hopelessly wrong. I feel vindicated and will show this to my neighbours as explanation.

"new breakdown rules" FFS they're not new, they're just looking to actually enforce the rules that already exist

I reckon I might nip off to the TAB tomorrow, from what I saw today that is very good money for the Blues!

Hmmm, short memory there?

I know things are a bit different, but I support the Blues and the Black caps and I have some issues with false dawns, new beginnings, etc.

It's a pain train fella, and I'm on board too

Loving everyone writing off the Landers still. Just like last week.

Blues top of the table and both teams 100% winning in the middle of June. Who would've thought that at the start of the year?

I wonder if we would have beaten the Crusaders??

[Bovidae]

The final could have been in Durban or Canberra.

But prolly at FMG aye!

Blues and Highlanders 100% win record and blues top of the table on finals weekend. 2020 has been a bizarre year.

Oh and plenty of whinging about all the "shit" refs. So it appears there isn't a half decent ref in NZ as a ref is always deemed not worthy by groups of people.

Our poor players having to deal with such substandard ineptitude. These games are clearly free of infringements yet that's not how they're being reffed.

Consistency in rulings is what you want. Uncertainty doesn't lead to a good game.

I don' t think the current group are terrible, but I don't think they are top drawer either. Great referees are hard to find these days, and the laws haven't helped for the last decade or so
