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

      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.

      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 ?

                              @kiwimurph Even if it did come off Matt's hand, Hooper plays it again on the ground.
