The match needed a more authoritative ref. There was a spiral of cynical fouls, and from my view Wellington were by far the worst culprits.
With Bale, Gwyther, Peverley, Lovemore, Feneridis, Hogg, there was a strong psycho-nutter core. Kind of a relief we won't be exporting that to the world stage.
New Zealand have certainly lost the moral high ground in any future complaints about Oceania mayhem.
