Its amazing what not having a whistle happy Aussie ref does... The Crusaders vs Highlanders game was outstanding... the new tackle interpretations have made it a lot better...
Add to that another excellent crowd and it looks like rugby is on its way back.
TV Stu Dickinson is an absolute disgrace to the game. (Everytime he is on TV for an international the game seems to be about how many times he can get his ugly mug on TV)
How one man can remain so clueless for so long and hang onto his job defies logic.
