Hey Ed

Unfortunately, and thanks entirely to NZ ref of the year Bryce Lawarence, you need, sadly, to remove that World Champs bit!

New Zealand are not World Champions. The bought the trophy but did not earn everything that comes with it.

Absolutely this was the most ludicrous WC ever  - ruined by refs.  Handed to them on  plate.

name a world cup that hasnt had a scandal....its a rugby game....there are endless possibilties of things falling the wrong way. Do you have evidence of this conspiracy and have you been to the police about it ?

Hi Beeno

Thanks for the heads up!

It's been sorted now.

Regards

Ed

Very sad duty perfromed ED but had to do my duty!!

Jinx when a man like Prof Noakes wants an enquiry, ref Watson also expressed disquiet and john Smith said if his retirement at leas the wouldn't have to play under a ref like Lawrence again then you know there is something WRONG. The guy chairing the WC ref committe is a kiwi - Paddy Byrne. BL after a shocking display is rewarded by being made NZ ref ofthe year. Explain that! How do you not see hands in when i thappens in front of your eyes.

Also explain this:

Abs penalties 43 to 1  yellows

Oz 7 penaties to 1 yellow

Boks 6 penalties to 1 yellow.

These figures for the 2011 tri natiosn were commented upon by a former Oz coach whose name escapes me and shows both SA and OZ favouring Nz surely. 

Of course one has no proof  Jinx that is what an investigation would have to find evidence of. However common sense indicates that something is going badly wrong and needs to be looked at. Much like match fixing in cricket there is no reason to beleive rugby is immune from such things.

BL is supposedly a top ref, highly qualified no doubt and with plenty of experience. Nothing adds up.

Make that Paddy O'Brien.
