Downer Referee: Ben O’KeeffeGreat.
I have a lot of sympathy for referees often, but there are as many bad decisions going on as wrong decisions. It's a tough sport, but goddamn we're in a big ebb of quality refs

This game was always likely to be refereed by one of the refs involved in the test the following day (O’Keeffe, Williams or Fraser).

Hope we win the Pickerill lottery 🤣😬

Again a citing and decision not published by NZR:
Veteran prop Ben May has been handed a two-week suspension for dangerous play during the Auckland match.
Can't remember the incident.
eye gouge/poke on Blake Gibson

Why can't NZR just publish all judiciary news. It's not that hard, geez. I heard from someone in the know, that they don't even send out media releases, so the media don't know about it either. Bloody idiots.
Agreed. That's shocking.

That's a pretty light sentence for an eye gouge, especially as May didn't get punished for it during the match.
The TMO and the referee were focusing on Riccitelli and did not see that it was Ben May, who was standing on the latter's side, who was the culprit. Actually, Riccitelli did nothing wrong.
What was stunning is that the producer did see the incident and kept his cameras on Ben May, but it did not get the TMO's attention. -

NZR must have heard you.
