Being a good loser is as important as being a good winner.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=Lonegunmen]I was sitting in the fever zone, no one can figure out how Lawerence allowed the try when the cantab actually dropped the ball. But I was told he gave Hawkes bay the same treatment last week that he dished out to Wellington tonight. The second question to be asked was, Did Canterbury actually have a moment when they were not offside? No one runs that fast and they were up on the Wellington guys before they even received the ball.

I dont mind Wellington losing to a better team, but when they lose to a bunch of cheating pricks, I do. there were so many professional fouls, killing the ball by Ritchie Mccheating prick, yet the refs appear as if they are scared to penalise him in case they dont get a test match to ref.
Steve Walsh is bad enough so too is Kelvin Deaker, but now Bryce Lawerence has shown he too can ruin a good game with a substandard peice of biased reffing. I gather that the commentators were saying as much as well.
Canterbury, if you had won fair and square I would have accepted it. But you cheated with the referees full endorsement & encouragement, what a hollow victory. Mind you, WHO holds the Ranfurly Shield??
