Bulls Chiefs game

Bulls were very good, surprised me. Some Big outside backs. When the game was evenly poised at 15-13. Before Shaun Stevenson indiviudal brilliance. Their was some obvious knock ons, from the Cheifs that lead to it. Completly ignored by the ref. Bulls were soft on Defense in the second half. But I Thought that cost them a bit. Jesse Kriel was very good. Full Back is his position. De jager was a beast I thought. Improovement. I saw alot of 2010 Bulls their. Pollard is your best option at ten. He always makes good decisions. 

 Refs direct games. They give a colour to games by applying a spirit to it. This means they introduce a subjectivity to the game without forcefully introducing a bias to it.

Ignoring certain fouls like knock ons, forward passes,off side positions, scrum bendings etc are part of that subjectivity as the ref imposes his own interpretation on what a game must look like.

Now it does not mean the ref is biased.

When a team like SA teams are so inadaptated they cant adapt to the ref's vision on the game, it sure looks unfair because during that game, the SA team was so unable to produce the sequences that could be polluted by knock ons.

You could have called bias if on the similar sequences, the SA team had been penalized for knock ons. Since the SA team was unable of producing them...

The ref favoured a vision of fluid rugby, this means turning a blind eye on minor fouls.
This is how ref works in rugby. Teams are supposed to be able to adapt.
Of course, when a team is completely inept at fluid rugby, there is a big issue as the opponent is mechanically favoured.
