@Chris despite the odd reffing decisions including the one where Sam Clarke took out Mataele and was then awarded a penalty, this game actually had plenty of top quality play. Shame it wasn't adjudicated by a better and more experienced ref.
Did he (take him out)? My viewing of this was that Matele ran into Clarke who was waiting for the ball to come down. It should have likely been ignored by the ref as it was a 50/50 type situation.
I assume the Clarke's are brothers. Thought Tray looked older at 1st but maybe not
Tjay CLARKE is a 21-year-old New Zealander rugby player standing at 1.8 m tall (5 ft 11 in) and weighing in at 89 kg (14 st 0.21 lb; 196.21 lb) , who currently plays for Wellington Lions in New Zealand as fullback.

@Canes4life Unfortunately, he has plenty of experience at this level. There's sufficient evidence that he's just not good enough. He shouldn't officiate rugby, and certainly not above club rugby level.

Yeah totally agree Mataele was stationary when Clarke ran in to him no wonder the Commentators were laughing so much at the decision crazy.
I hope we don't see This ref again come play off time, he will cost a team a chance at winning the NPC.

Exciting game.
Did Umaga-Jensen release the ball in that tackle after his break? Looked pretty suss to me, even on the replay.
On the front on replay it didn't actually look like PUJ was held - so therefore didn't have to release. A lot of refs would have pinged him though.
