Anybody who watched 'AussieKiwi" Steve Walsh and Bryce "blind eye" Lawrence combine suberbly to screw up a great Super Rugby contest cannot disagree that they should both be banned! Walsh is a drunken idiot who spends most of the game having conversations with players-probably trying to get a date. Lawrence, even as TMO, couldn't see a rugby law book if it smacked him in the face! Replays clearly showed a triple movement-even Justin Marshall saw it-but Bryce "hands-in-where? awarded the try! If the TMO Refs are going to be so bad, why even bother-just let Walsh screw up all by himself. Anybody out there care to defend either of these poepols?
NZ REFS JUST GIVE IT UP!
Bryce Lawrence is a village idiot - a real one at that. He awarded a try to the Crusaders that was actually not a try. Really stuffed up the game. Walsh was wishy-washy - but other than his long conversations made very little impression as a referee. The standard of play in the Crusader- Chiefs game was questionable and there were far too many silly mistakes made by both sides. That type of thing makes the life of referees very difficult - and I would not condemn Walsh outright.
OMG - Bryce " what what" Lawerence is now confirmed as the biggest dropkick in history followed closely by Steve "look at me" Walsh who were all trained by Paddy "do it my way" O'Brien....................
Funny how all three have one thing in common? Anyone dear to point it out?
If anyone watched the Highlanders and Reds game and see how Johnathan Kaplan handled that game, you can clearly see the massive gulf and skill and application and maturity and common sense that he has in respect to what we saw from the Saders/Chiefs game.
SA refs by far a level above the NZ/Aus refs.....point to ponder what can we do about it? As it is clear that SA will suffer at the hands of their incompetence...afterall it did cost us the RWC what else do we lose if our SA Admin do nothing and sit back and let this crap carry on??? They need to put forward concerns and state clearly how it is impacting on the game.........
Bryce Lawrence should not be allowed anywhere near a game of rugby. When is Lyndon Bray gonna see this guy for what he is, an absolute disgaceful cheat.
This is really not on and unfair now that the Crusties sit in 4th position which means that they end up with a home play-off game against either the Sharks or the Bulls, whoever gets 5th position.
Lawrence did nowt wrong....... protocol determines that he can only rule what transpires over the goal line . Next year when they tweak the rules the TMO will be allowed to reach a fairer decision .
