Jeff the Ref

Remember the All Blacks had that awful grey strip in 07 as well, the last time we ever wore that.

Okay.

69 minutes and this to me sums up the performance of all four officials on the night right the crusaders don't compete at the lineup the canes get done for not straight the commentators explained that the new law says if the opposition don't compete then it doesn't matter if it's straight it doesn't matter so that should be kane's ball it ends up being crusaders ball a defensive thing they get out of it how come none of the ref the two ars and the tmo know the rules

These are the two ARs.

Jeff, you've been reffing for 16, 17 years or something.

If I sat you down like a driver's test and went through the law book and gave you 10 questions, how confident would you be if I did this three or four times of getting 10 out of 10, 9 out of 10?

Because when you don't know a law, that says to me there's something seriously wrong there.

You talk about the Fihi tribe, but this is an instance in this game.

If this was an international game, a consequence, if it was a knockout game or something like that, you're handing the ball to the defensive team in their red zone when that is the wrong call because it's not like anything's happened.

The law is the law and you just haven't applied the law.

It's as simple as that.

I know when you say if it's grey, stay away.

This isn't grey.

Final one, and then we've got a couple of messages in a jersey to give away, courtesy of Webwonx.

76 minutes, the Gardiner tried.

Did he actually get it over?

Should they have looked at that?

I can't see how they didn't look at this.

It's an obvious knock-on, especially when you look at this replay.
