The Super 15 began last night with an entertaining game
between the Highlanders and Chiefs.
Oh what a difference a good referee makes in a
modern-day game of rugby.
Make no bones about it Stephen Walsh is the best
referee from New Zealand.
Only Steve Walsh is now an Australian after being shitted
on from up-high by the NZFU.
So what were Walsh’s crimes that saw the NZRFU cut
ties with the then best up and coming referee we had?
Did he harass an innocent female athlete out on a
training run?
Did he smash the face of a bloke enjoying his 50th
birthday party and his mate who went to intervene?
Was he so pissed out of his tree he had to be
restrained by mates, didn’t remember any of this and needed the NZRFU to send a
‘media clean-up’ person to his holiday resort to keep a lid on things?
Did the same person who said he was reformed then assault
a mate asleep in bed and do the same to another guy under the same
circumstances minutes later whilst highly intoxicated?
I mean these sort of serious incidents aren’t seen as
enough for All Blacks to be cut-lose now are they?
Walsh’s heinous crime was to turn-up to a refereeing
conference pissed.
Why the N.Z Media can’t also juxtapose these positions
and the standards set for one group of NZRFU employees versus another shows you
the Stalinist power welded by the Union.
The spineless media in N.Z can’t afford to have their
prime sporting news taken from underneath them by airing the hypocrisy of Walsh
versus Guildford.
