breakfast at murrayfield

So, IRB apologised to the All Blacks for last Saturday conduit by Mr. Dickinson, the Australian referee.

Fair enough — if they think “Dickinson got it “completely wrong” when he repeatedly penalised the New Zealanders at the scrum“, that’s OK, I respect their decision.

But then again, IRB should apologise not only to the All Blacks, but to Italy, too, and, above all, to the supporters in the stands, because if you send over an international official who needs to study the scrum rules a little more (which in my book translates into “someone who can’t referee a game, no matter if that’s an international one or not, as you can’t ref a rugby game if you don’t know all the rules. Period.) you end up spoiling the game for EVERYONE.

I am waiting for that apology.

Cheers.
