@DavidShoebridge I’ll give it a miss Comrade.

[Observer @Observer90210]

@OBBY001 Super Rugby has a referee issue and unless it’s acknowledged & addressed the comp will continue to languish. Both Reds vs Chiefs games this year have been marred by referee howlers that have impacted the result.

[Observer @Observer90210]

@scrumming_ten Now show the picture of the 25k full house at the other game which was in doors away from the torrential rain and 4c temperature.

[Observer @Observer90210]

@ChalynRugby 1st and 2nd should go straight to semi.
Winner of 3rd vs 6th & 4th vs 5th meet them in the semi.

[Observer @Observer90210]

@jaredwright17 Shame Australia’s form team just
Missed the final. Force would have given a much better account of themselves than the Brumbies.

[Observer @Observer90210]

@brumby_fan 59.21 mins. Knock on 3 feet from the touch judge. It’s not only their refs. The sideline officals are equally culpable in their incompetence, or is it something more?

[Observer @Observer90210]

@SuperRugby Can we please have non biased Australian refs put in charge? Ones that see knock ons?

[Observer @Observer90210]

@ChristypDoran Is it time for Phil Waugh to get involved in escalating this refereeing fiasco in SR? 22-17, two blatant knock ons missed. 29-17 game over. Is it too much to ask for competent & non biased match officials? Or NZ teams just have to win for NZ tv ratings & that’s life?

[Observer @Observer90210]

@ChristypDoran One can only assume Super rugby is not serious about match integrity. This stuff happens all the time against Australian sides and just gets dismissed as we are supposed to just lose quietly.

[Observer @Observer90210]

@samdick95 It gets tiresome that Super Rugby continue to appoint referees not up to standard. The knock on in the lead up into that try & reds were over boy and denied a penalty. Ut hey let’s quickly award the try with no review and get out of the rain.

[Observer @Observer90210]

@DMAC_1O He’s a dead set cheat.

[Observer @Observer90210]

@MattDabron Doleman is a dead set fucking cheat.

[Observer @Observer90210]

@OBBY001 Allowing a Chiefs free for all at the breakdown. Players taken out of the ball, others standing on the ruck. All without penalty.

[Observer @Observer90210]

@CheetahPlains Truck and trailer.

[Observer @Observer90210]

@joenotaverage Yellow all day. Played dropped into contact.

[Observer @Observer90210]

@OGHustle_Rugby Was arm not shoulder too. Let’s hope he is alright. Will only be a yellow

[Observer @Observer90210]

@SteynGerald And Doleman allows it. Chiefs getting away with murder.

[Observer @Observer90210]

@DMAC_1O Chiefs taking out players around s the ruck unpenalised. The fix is in.

[Observer @Observer90210]

@MarkCurrieNZ 1 and 2 straight to semis. 3 v 6 & 4 v 5
Winner of those two into the semi.

[Observer @Observer90210]

@ChristypDoran Flicking between this and Waratahs vs Drua.
