Latest / Cut The Kak / Refereeing Disaster ? Reds vs Chiefs
Transcript
- Byron: I know we will dive into the games in second, but since we're about referees, Reds versus Chiefs ⁓ might have had ⁓ one of the worst refereeing performances I've seen in a long time. Chad: ⁓ my god. Who was that? Who was that referee? Byron: Do you mind looking up the name? I just... It wasn't that he was just blowing against the Reds. It was that he was just missing so much of what was happening in between. Chad: Reds first. Byron: And then... Chad: He's a second year New Zealand referee. Marcus... Playy? Pully. Yeah. Yeah, something like that. Byron: Marcus Pally? Well shout out Marcus Pully. Get a coach buddy, get a referee coach. Maybe it was a bad day. Let's give him a little bit of benefit of the doubt, but you can't continue to ref like that. Chad: Yeah, that was rough. Byron: And then at half time, the reds try. Chad: But when I was, yeah. Byron: The referee, the TMO fucked that one up as well. Chad: Yeah, but it was the whole... it was the whole... Yeah, it was the whole group. They just had a... I don't know if it was just a bad night. But it was not good. Byron: It was the whole group! But the referee, didn't even, the score, you watch one, there was one angle where it was clear and obvious ball went over the line, touch grass, should be a try. But the TMO as well, they didn't even look at all that was going on around it. There was an offsides for that try as well. You know, so you don't go, even if you, even if there's, you know, they say it needs to be clear and obvious. If you ignore that angle where it was clear and obvious, you say no trial, bald, held up, whatever you want to call. You should then go back to the offside penalty. You don't just f*&king blow the whistle and go to half time like. Chad: Yeah. Yep. Byron: The part about that that is wild for me is the TMO normally looks at the bigger picture as well when leading up to the trial, the phases before, the phases. No one looked at the offside line. Chad: It's also up to the, wasn't there Advantage 2 before that? Byron: No, there was advantage in other parts of that play, but not that particular one. But there should have been an advantage to offside. Chad: Yeah, so I'm pretty sure you should have gone back to his advantage. That's the referee's... Roll. He should say, okay, cool. Byron: You should have asked, but so everyone's looking at the ball going over the line. But as the referee, you're right, as the referee, you need to look at the bigger picture and look at what's happening there. You can also. Chad: Yeah. And remember that you're still playing advantage. Yeah, I was, I was tough. Byron: was yeah, so you know, they are low bars and hard bars for referee. I hope to be one of the higher buyers, but let's see what happens. I'm just starting out. So yeah, that's a nice little introduction to the nonsense that's going on in World Rugby at the moment. You want to dive into the fixtures and results? Chad: Sure. What are we doing first? You can do the... You're the results man. Byron: from this weekend. Allaq. I like Super Rugby first just because where I'm from it's the games happened before the URC games. Chad: Yep, makes sense. Byron: ⁓ First game of the weekend must have made you happy. Crusaders beating the Blues 36-20. Chad: That was a really fun game. That was a great way to start my Friday. Byron: It was. ⁓ I don't know what it was, the Blues just, they lacked something against the Crusaders on Friday. Chad: The Crusaders were just... everything just seemed to be happening for them. Everything they doing was just really, really... Byron: Mm-hmm. Chad: coming off, everything was being pulled off that first half. It was tight, it wasn't, it was 12, 13 at half time. But then that second half was good. mean the... Byron: Teng Shui. Caleb Clarke is a different human. I don't even know if you can classify him as a human. He is insane. Chad: No. I cannot wait. The more, the closer that we get to the greatest rivalry and the more that I see the key players that we assume are going to be in the All Black squad. It's exciting. I know a couple of months ago I was like, oh no, we're going to blow them out of the water. It's going to be walk in the park. They've got no coach. They've got no this. I am. Byron: exciting. Also, Chad: I could, delete that episode. But the incident is forever. Byron: No, I'm glad it exists because then I will be right for a change. Chad: Yeah, no, it's the the plays are unreal. It's good. It's going to be. Byron: Even
