Rugby refereeing remains rugby refereeing: that is overloaded by subjectivity.
Given that, the lack of rugby as displayed by SA rugby is torture for referees.
The SA rugby team comes to any game with no intent of scoring tries, relying entirely on penalty kicks to advance the scoreboard.
While tries may be scored without referees' interferences, penalty kicks are fully determined by a referee's subjectivity.
A game and a victory by SA rugby is fully determined by a ref: the ref makes the winner.
Now there alway is a time when the world of rugby is fed up with SA rugby antics.
The unwillingness of the ref to advance the scoreboard beyong a meager 3-3 (the scoreboard could have been advanced easily to 9-9 or 12-12) probably signals the end of the rope.
