That bloody game. We should have won it. A bit salty that the ref didn't hand Fiji a yellow for persistent penalties but we had our chance to win it.

That was a bullshit call that gave Fiji the penalty (and then the try) just before half time as well. How he saw an obstruction / crossing there beggars belief and could have ended in a try to NZ. Conceivably a 14 point error by Craig Evans who I would prefer never reffed NZ again. Only his 12th match so could improve - he needs to.
WTF Te Tamaki...

NZ robbed! How could the TMO and ref award that try. Didn't even look at the right footage (too late).
@Stargazer The standard of refereeing in 7s is woeful.

@antipodean Yes. I assume they send the worst refs and commentators (apart from a few 7s specialists like Te Nana) to the 7s tournaments. I really like 7s, but officiating mistakes have way more impact in such a short game than in XVs. Refs should be much better.
