    Single worst ref decision I have seen in many years. The worst part is that that SOB probably cost us the game.

    This is the high and no-arms tackle:



    That cost us the game.

    I am also not sure if with that first try they scored the ball was grounded.

    It was a disgrace. I'm still shocked.

    Guys, unfortunately, the laws of rugby clearly state, under rule 10.2.3: "...and under no circumstances shall an abnormally big and talented rugby player make a legal tackle on Dan Carter." Rules are rules...

    Dammit fella, you know your rules. Hundreds of positive reps to you.

    Even the NZ commentators said that it's a great tackle.

    Petition To Stop Romain Poite Ever Reffing A Rugby Game Again


    Probably a bit harsh but it feels appropriate.

    Maybe. But if you are refereeing at this level of the game you cannot make stupid mistakes like he did. They should ban him from any international refereeing for a year at least.

    You know what ticks me off the most though? Not that other refs are defending him saying he is only human but that when Poite eventually realises he was wrong he is gonna say "Oops, really sorry" with no ramifications.

    I'm not sure we would've won if things were different but it would have been a lot closer and most likely NZ would not have gotten that bonus point.

    Stopped at the first yellow card. What rubbish reffing! He should be cited and fined
