Game 6 v Papatoetoe June 9

What a fiasco this game was, if you ever wanted to turn players, parents etc off the game then the display the referee gave was pathetic. Nearly every scrum was awarded in favour of the home team, nearly every advantage and penalty was awarded to the home team. When Howick was hot on attack the scrum went to the home team time and time again. The game ended in a bizarre way with the ref calling the game off minutes before full time because he hsaid he had to go to another game ! Please i might be getting a bit older in the tooth but i aint that stupid. Final score was 14 to 10 to Papatoetoe. I am sure this is not the last we will hear from this game and i'm sure Auckland Rugby will hear a lot more about it.
