Stuart Berry (South Africa - 12 Super Rugby, 4 Tests)

How is that even possible?

Thank god Pastrana is gone.

 

[lemoen]

Shaun Veldsman still a tmo

 

[Dctarget]

Steve Walsh has been around for a while, he must be one of the most experienced refs in the world surely?

 

[HighPlainsDrifter]

I would love to see a stream available post test with just the ref microphone and no commentary ....

I'd say he's the #1 ref in the world and would be odds on for the RWC final.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

^^^^^^^^^^ can't happen, he's not allowed to ref the AB's

 

[Wilson]

or the wallabies

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

^^^^^^^^^^ true but then again I'm not the bloke with a Wallaby icon in his header & putting Aussie Steve's name forward to ref the big show, am I.

 

[Quick Hands]

Andrew Lees is barely up to Shute Shield standard, how on earth is he on that panel?

 

[lily]

I agree with Quick Hands. Lees is a terrible referee. He must have the photos.

 

[Brumby Runner]

Yeah, Andrew Leeds was a pretty good fullback but never much of a ref as far as I know. But I do remember a few clangers from Andrew Lees last season. Wingers stepping into touch but not adjudicated by him while running the touch line. Providing advice to the ref, again while running the touch line, which led the ref to decline to refer a suspect try to the TMO when he (Lees) was about 25m away from the action at the time.

 

[Quick Hands]

Typo fixed

Yeah........... nah.............

Has he overcome his lack of balls when the crunch comes?
Joubert is head and shoulders above the lot of them.

I think so too. Lets the game flow more than most of the others, but can also have some shockers. Nature of the beast I suppose.

I think his shockers have got less frequent??

Really? You're going to say he puts the whistle away during the pressure times and then mention fucking Joubert!????

Right or wrong he pinged Richie so the Tahs could win.
