Description

The way the Northern Tour rugby test matches were refereed has rugby fans frustrated and asking questions.

The TMO jumps in at every chance it gets, yellow and red cards are being handed out left and right - with several of the red cards dished out being rescinded due to the offence being deemed not worthy of being shown red. 

Chris Pollock is the NZR High Performance Referee Manager and he caught up with D'Arcy to discuss the differences between refereeing Super Rugby and international rugby.
