- Current Referee grade:
- Level 1
I can't say that Chris Pollock had the best game. But he had some absolute clangers:
- Crusaders centre drops the ball on the 22, knocked on, but Crusaders play on, referee missed the knock on. The ball was moved down field, leading to a Crusaders penalty
- Referee pings Waratahs for incorrect tap, when the replays show the ball clearly leaving the Waratahs player's hand and being propelled off the boot. The ensuing scrum lead to a Crusaders penalty.
- Waratahs scrum on Warathas 22. Crusaders push the Waratahs pack back and scrum collapses - no fault. Referee awards reset to Crusaders.
These were just some of the problems with Pollack during the first half. These mistakes kept the Crusaders in the match early, until the Waratahs fell apart in the second half.
