I know what you mean. I thought he was a good ref. In fact, he is definitely one of the better ones back in the UK and I remember watching many a Premiership game with him doing a fine job. But something went horribly wrong. I have seen the end of the game a few times now and I am still sure he went to give a penalty, even though Australia had just scored a (disallowed), and just before he gave the third booking. Very strange.
Makes you wonder what all the other officials were doing as well, they all had mics to speak with Poll! His face at the end looked like he was intimidated by the whole thing!

Not surprising really. Poor bloke. Oh no, I seem to be feeling sorry for a referee.

Rich - yeah, it's a bit of a farce. I bet he couldn't wait to get off the pitch.
Matt - I saw that as well. What a nice bloke he must be. The CUAS site is definitely worth checking in on as there's some great stuff on there.
