    ….on the plus side, your boys have a serious shot at the CC season.

    you must be starting to sweate.

    surely you won’t bottle it like 2002 this time?

    New Zealand pressure referee Joubert on breakdown rules
    Sapa-AFP | 13 October, 2011 07:14

    New Zealand assistant coach Steve Hansen has ratcheted up the pressure on referee Craig Joubert to prevent a free for all at the breakdown in this weekend’s World Cup semi-final with Australia.

    Hansen was critical Thursday of Kiwi referee Bryce Lawrence’s officiating of the rucks, where Wallaby openside flanker David Pocock dominated, during Australia’s gripping 11-9 quarter-final win over defending champions South Africa last weekend.

    Lawrence has copped considerable stick, particularly from South Africa, over his performance, but New Zealand are wary of Pocock’s mastery in foraging for turnover ball.

    South African official Joubert will control Sunday’s semi-final at Eden Park and Hansen said it was important for the crucial breakdown battle to be adjudicated in line with rugby’s rules.

    “Joubert’s pretty good (refereeing the breakdown), but how he’s going to do it on Sunday night, we don’t know,” Hansen told reporters.

    “He’s human and he’ll make decisions based on what he thinks he’s seeing and it’s pretty clear what you’re allowed to do, but you get variation every week, don’t you?”

    Hansen joined in criticism of Lawrence’s performance in Wellington where Pocock played a decisive role in a backs-to-the-wall win over the Springboks.

    “I would say that Bryce (Lawrence) is probably a little disappointed with how he did it last week,” he said.

    “I think Bryce was (a bit lenient). You’re not allowed to go off your feet at the breakdown and you’re not allowed to hang on to the ball after the ruck is formed and let it go.”

    Pocock’s battle with the All Blacks’ champion number seven Richie McCaw will be one of the intriguing sub-plots of Sunday’s showdown to decide a place in the October 23 final.

    In contrast to Hansen, Wallabies’ coaching co-ordinator David Nucifora had no issues with Lawrence’s officiating last weekend.

    “I thought the referee did a fine job, no problem from where we were sitting, I thought it was consistent for both teams,” he said.

    And in a parting barb, Nucifora added: “I’m sure Steve (Hansen) has seen enough of number sevens (McCaw) pushing the boundaries, he knows how it works.”

    @wallabie.(wallabie.)-402:

    it is the only logical conclusion.

    joubert will police the breakdown like **** tracy on steroids….and after that it’s all over for the ozzies.

    unless piri kicks like a twat and bottles it again for the kiwis…which also isn’t out of the question.

    if ever the kiwis have been shown up for being a one man team it is whithout carter.

    They are going to try and get joubert to undo bryce. Joubert has made some wonderful rulings in his time.

    Dickinson is way better than joubert at the breakdown….i am afraid jobert is going to screw up this weekend.

    Bryce was at least consistent to both teams…just boks did not have a pocock on their side!

    Jobert does not know what a breakdown looks like or a headbutt!

    But having said that richie and pocock will work out the ref in the first 20 minutes..they will forgo a couple of penalties.
    The saffa in jobert is going to get the better of him…he wants revenge! :lol:

    What is funny here and hansen being a doos is that he is asking jobert to watch the breakdown like a hawk…guess who is the renowned cheat! He should leave it as it is and let the two 7s sort it out.
    Cutting off the nose to spite his face!

    Poor, sad, stupid, foolish fools just a big pity you can Bostik absolutely nothing.

    However,I must add that without it you crawling, burrowing, squirmy, creamy and brown-nosed maggots, flukeworms, flatworms, roundworms or more cannot do without the humind, cosy warmth and such delightful nourishment that it provides for you. Without it your lives are worthless and meaningless. So keep feeding magnificent maggots.
    If you are ever able to transform(better still transfornicate)into humanoid forms you can place that on your hamburger buns.
    It was written in the stars that ‘gatlekkers’ would coalesce and suffer much disaster too.

    Four for four so say no more you wimps.

    If you stick around you may see the instigation or stimulation of another new disaster even today.
    Just watch IOL.

    bryce was consistent…errm, yes, that is exactly what won you boys the game.

    because when one team has 40% more ball, means they are getting screwed 40% more of the time at the breakdown.

    ja, thats probably why he suddenly has concerns to voice to the ref ahead of the game. they know reechee’s not 100%.
    sneaky keewee’s.

    i dont know who’s deserving of the loss more between the two.
    can never beat us fair and square, like real men.

    always the low stuff…and then they strut about after the games against us…wow!…hang your heads in shame…

    the opposition?
    the ref?
    then yes, absolutely right.

    to be fair i think the opposition might admit it privately, but i dont think that ref is capable of anything like that even. he’s a nepotism’s appointment.

    problem with those sort of appointments is that the son who gets promo’d by the father is often in no way capable of succeeding at the task required and the job is almost always far above his station.
