Nothing makes sense anymore. I don’t know what I can add to even try to explain the incompetence shown in this game. The Hurricanes vs Blues was such a close game in the Super Rugby match. Yet, the ref and TMO had to play their parts in ruining an evenly matched game. The TMO in particular, was one of the worst I’ve ever seen. I would even go as far as to say that Marius Jonker is way ahead of Shane McDermott. I’m simply astonished as to how bad he was. That guy should be nowhere near a TMO booth, he has no idea what the heck he is doing. He put Nic Berry in so many bad spots, and never helped him.
But still, that is not an excuse Nic Berry, who was also bad. He saw the same angles, and simply never questioned the TMO. So I can’t excuse him for that. Not to mention some of the bad explanations he gave regarding some of the incidents. As we saw with the British and Irish Lions series in South Africa. Nic Berry is not cut out for the job. He again, proved that. How many chances do these okes get?

You've somewhat redeemed yourself.
0:58 – Also Dalton Papali'i should have been penalised for a high tackle – he was pretty much about to rip Josh Moorby's head off his neck. Yellow card would have been fair.
Also Justin Marshall remains as clueless as ever about the rules – so should be ignored.
Hey last play of the game brumbies vs blues brumbies player has to roll away pretty sure correct me if I’m wrong
Also when this happened my dad screamed out “BULL SHIT REFF”
0 discipline from that player should have played it back
You should have added the Blues player ramming his shoulder into the hurricanes players back while on the ground. Dont know how that wasn't minimum a yellow.
Present for you!
It should be noted that the onfield referee sees many of the same replays that the TMO does.
The onfield referee has the ultimate say and does not have to accept the TMO's point of view on the situation being reviewed.
This is the worst YouTube channel of all time
Nic Berry is bad for rugby.
Q- Will wannabe ref Berry be at the world cup?
The clean was from the side, and dangerous. He lifted the blue player's leg – what did he think was going to happen when he did that??!!
Please don't hurt Nick's feelings again. I am sure he will be at the world cup , they have already created a safe space for him.
what a mess. As you say the refs ruin games It's about time rugby came home and becomes a players game instead of a watchers game for those who never played the game.
Whilst Berry does make some poor calls from time to time the majority of the calls on this clip were by the TMO and assistant on the side lines
That’s a try all day long
i was shocked on that try that was awarded but hey its Nic Berry who is crap
Nic Berry you should hang up your boots as a referee. Rassie exposed your incompetence as a so called International referee, and Australia rugby awards you with the best referee for the year. What a joke , If the IRB wants to have a successful world cup then you should not be on the panel of referees. Nic Berry stay away from rugby and stay at home. Rugby is better off without you.
So who said there that he saw a separation?
5:20 was just a mistake. Players do mistakes, we all do mistakes.
From sbok support…the thing is what i see…all who hated rassie and us sboks starts seeing all these things now,but no one gave rassie credit except our sbok supporters…..rassie fought for sboks bec he cant sit and analises all other games….the biggest thing here is if im correct wr is mostly existing out off northeners….they killed rugby with all these new silly laws and cards 13,14 vs 15 men..these silly non dangerous stuff carded like intercepts failed all these cards on goal line you cant prevent oponents to score in the past you prevent it anyhow and that was rugby…to much other stuff also the scew input in scrums…tackles that isnt dangerious but carded…..many people like myself step away from rugby where rugby was everything i only watch few games if my team play (sboks)the rest i dont care anymore…what i also want to say about this is the referees doesnt know what to do and cant intriprit all these rules…also its as if they can deside who must win in close games and no one know what happenned….also it feelslike the north change the game with rules to compete with south…….doesnt matter what any say 2022 was a desaster against the sboks its like they planned it…..but my main thing here its getting worce and worce and rules change and new coming and so rugby is dying,its not rugby anymore its up to wr who must win and these prevent injury stuff is all bull$#@..t,old day there wasnt more injurys then today…its all crap,to gave a yellow for intercept or slap the ball away isnt to fo with dangerious play,its a useless rule to gave a card for negative play and some intercepts is resl but failed then get carded…many games was won in the past by inderceptions now people are to scared to take a change….many cards given was unneccessarry it was comon play its just hsppenef not on purpose then its yellow or red……its bulls$@@$%..s,and many more….how long did we cried out pls let 15 vs 15 stay on the pitch….and more and more…..
I hope this guy is not going to ref in the world cup, there is no way that first try could be given. If that is a try then almost anything goes.
How was that not a yellow card? World rugby are not serious about head contact. They want to lower the tackle height and all such nonsense but clear-tip they let slide. There is no excuse for lifting a player's legs higher than his head, non what so ever. Anybody that tries to justify picking a player's legs up while his head is dropping is plain insanity. World rugby should get their house in order.
All this stuff and what we are seeing in the 6N worries me about the forthcoming World Cup. This guy is a liability.
Australasian refs are probably the worst in the world. Hard to understand why. You'd think it would be the opposite.
Nick Barry will again get an reward in Australia for best referee..Nic will cost teams games in how he handle games.He cannot make decisions by himself.Nic Barry should not be given any game to handle in the world cup.
Try all day at the beginning.come on mate stop being so pathetic
To be honest the TMO shouldn't awarded that Hurricanes player a try. Because the Hurricanes player clearly lost separating from his hand to the ball, and he was short of the line. Then he decides to push the ball to the try line which you can't do our else that's called a double movement.
Also the Hoskins Soututu try was the correct call. When Hoskins Soututu dive down before he grounded the ball down. As Hoskins was being tackled on the way down short from the try line from Hurricanes Player no.15. Hoskins managed without losing control of the ball, as Hoskins's Soututu had a nice grip of the ball, so he won't drop the ball on the way down. As Hoskins manage to escape out of a tackle, to be able to score a fantastic Blues Try!
NB is the WORST.
This WC will give a lot of people heartaches, and it's frustrating already
Are we going to see one for the Crusaders vs Blues game the other day? That was horrific😳
dont have to watch this I KNOW NIC BERRY IS SHIT
