I think you have legitimate complaints about Jonker but Joubert is amongst the best imo. Don’t rate White at all, Barnesy is twice the referee, clearly Paddy O’Brien agrees. The Frenchman would be good if he could speak better English, top ref imo. Bryce Lawrence isn’t the worst, but pretty tempramental.

There’s too much bitching about refs imo.

Tough gig.

Need to be really really fit. Need to have the eyes of a hawk. Need to have eyes in teh back of your head. Need to take no **** from mouthy guys. Need to know how the scrum actually works.

I am on their side.

I see little bias, they call it as they see it.

Some “styles” we like, some we don’t.

Joubert & Plonker are the Laurel & Hardy of the Ref World, both desperate to out-hopeless each other. It matters not whether Joubert has whistled for or against my team, BH, that misses the point (again). He makes too many random calls, too, often to even make me look past the thin veneer of ‘the firmer I blow the whistle the more I look in control’. Bloody ‘opeless, e is.

Mark Lawrence is the best but even he makes bad calls. Ooh, Mark, 1 min you have enough doubts to ask for the TMO, the next you dont – cmon, surely the fact the TMO was slow surely meant there was ALOT of doubt. Poor decision all round.

Bryce Lawrence is just an annoying little cretin. However he does often get calls right, far more than Laurel & Hardy for starters.

But on the Hopeless Scale, Ive got Joubert nudging out Barnesy with another small blow of the pea back to Plonker.

Id take Chris White and the mad Frenchman any day if I couldnt have M.Lawrence.

Craig Joubert made Hannibal Cannibal cry.

the kiwis will revert to stampkar rugby and the taffs don’t have the pack.

…and that is one of the reasons the Kiwis are hating us.We will not roll over and play dead for them anymore.

Try and imagine how pissed they were when their uber-skilled Chiefs got destroyed at altitude by 50 points.

South Africa not only has always had the players….but now has any number of experienced and competant coaches across the board who know how to prepares their players.

The days of Robbie Deans ooh-ing,aaying-and-grunting-a-lot to 7 Super championships are long gone.

They hate us because they fear us….even the useless arse Taffs are jumping on the bandwagon.

Craig Joubert makes Barnesy look like an Old Pro.

Craig Joubert masks should be sold on Halloween.

Craig Joubert is in the next Saw movie.

Craig Joubert eats Children for breakfast.

Craig Joubert made Emperor Palpatine turn to the Dark Side.

Looking forward to seeing Guildford playing, Tialumpa looks like an angry frog during the haka, well worth watching

although I too think NZ will win, 6 changes can be quite disruptive, especially to a team that has had disruptions all season long… still, I dont believe Wales can win, they may again go into halftime with a lead, but I think that would be more good fortune then good management…

excited for Guildford, deserves his spot and I hope he takes it with both hands…

still dont know why we have Tialumpa playing, the guy is a bookend that lumbers laboriously around the field… put Franks in there and let him gain experience, Tialumpa will not(or shouldnt) be in the cartels plans for 2011, he is hopeless…
