Nathan White unleashes punches on Al Baxter

[QuickyBaby]

What more do you need to do to get sent off?

[MrDinkydink]

Waugh should have been cited for not punching Steve Walsh in the face at 2:20

[achambers9]

why's he finding it so funny, he's smiling throughout the video!

[Ourkid30]

What's with the little gay giggle at 3.00

[akimichicarron]

The Ref walks like he had Anal

[eddyd63]

walsh seems to mince around the field just flirting with the players, no wonder he cant actually keep control of this game

[godwalker84]

Touch judge 'didn't see it'. How? He had the best view of anyone. How did he get away with that?

[lethalmicky13]

Ref fancies himself a little bit mind haha

[chanctonbury63]

Al Baxters a dick. In fact it looked as though he had his hand up Whites inside leg, so there may be something in the dick thing.

[dombristow]

Does noone else here appreciate the AWESOME kick a the beginning??

[BadgerPM]

This is why guys retaliate. The odd time that someone does do what they're supposed to and take the punches without reacting, the other guy doesn't get punished. That should have been a definite yellow.

[MultiTaltaltal]

did the commentator say ding dong?

[irishkod]

the guy in blue would have killed him if everyone hadnt of jumped on the two of them

[OneBigRetard]

Steve 'never knowingly underphotographed' Walsh is a fucking douche,

"alright mate". He isn't your mate you weak twat.

[shaneshaneist]

That ref is such an obvious homo

[Gibbit52]

Who knew Al Baxter would have such a good chin?!

[krist1love]

Fuck the reef got carrot up his arse when he walk. haha

[SiLeNtStReAkS]

lool gay ref?



[44redman1]

wheres the yellow card? possibly a red

[muppetman666]

landing multiple punches to the head = red, ref bottled it

[FutureLAD66]

@muppetman666 the ref's queer thats why.

[jason21jburg]

As much as I hate this ref and don't think he is a international standard ref. dealt with that amazing

[TheCelticmaori]

I'm a chiefs fan, but that's fucking uncalled for, it's a shame how filthy thuggish animals are allowed into this sacred game of rugby, yes rugby is a rough game but we have always been complimented of being gentlemen and professionals!

[CSAlmanac]

Why is it so hard to find good officiating like this in all sports? Handles it professionally and fairly.

[KnightsInfinity]

the one who was throwing the punches should have been sent to the bin for 10mins

[j83c86z7]

good job by the ref

[brumbiesfan97]

Stupid kiwi cunt.

[TheHatedTroll]

they should let rugby players fight it out like in hockey..

[quibbleable]

@TheHatedTroll difference is the isn't much to stop a punch to the face in rugby compared to ice hockey

[thomasgreendog]

@TheHatedTroll i hope that was a joke haha if they did there would dead people

[stgeorgedragons08]

maddest reffing no send off good shit

[239428954]

2:38

when referees decide to give leadership advice.

[connornugent]

@mikeyp0131 That's because football's for pussies...

[NZGamingGenius]

Yeah Chiefs :D

[jayzarlen]

Thats why walsh is the man nevermind diggin for that yellow card just get on with the game

[masteraway1]

OH A REAL DING DONG THERE lol

[mikeyp0131]

you wouldn't get this in football!

[badback22]

"Liam Neeson got involved..." ??? Where's dat? "A real ding dong" Haha! never heard that one before. :)

[chalkus]

walsh is a terrible ref

[Johnionakana]

why does the ref have downer on his shirt?

[ryanthomasmccallum]

@Johnionakana its a road works company opposition to fulton hogan , they sponsor the super 15

[dutoith15]

I think steve Walsh is one of the most inconsistent refs in the world next to Bryce Lawrence who SCREWED the Boks in 2011 world cup......f**king sheep shagger!!!!!

[apritchard2010]

he is the worst referee in the history of refereeing

[mndpsp1]

@apritchard2010 prior to rugby world cup i would have agreed with you, but towards the end of super rugby and during rwc 2011 he has really upped his refereeing and is a lot better than he was. You have to remember these guys have a tough as fuck job, a million times easier than refereeing soccer. Also, thats not steve walsh, thats a blind fucking touchy!

[apritchard2010]

@mndpsp1 yeh but lets be fair, some of the calls he has made have been so obvious yet he calls it wrong, he should have given a yellow when the linesman said he threw punches, the linesman was awful but i agree he has upped his refereeing

[mndpsp1]

@apritchard2010 ill give you that, he has definitely made some pretty dodgy calls, i remember that game he refereed for the brumbies, terrible! adam ashley-cooper scored a try, and he disallowed it for double movement, when there was none! haha but he was definitely one of the better referees this rugby world cup. Yeah he should have given a yellow, but i think he didnt know who started it all, the linesman should have said "3 black, yellow" definitely. I completely agree with you on that mate.

[NiallRobo93]

A real ding dong!

[RuggerMacka9]

steve walsh loves that and minge

[drunkenjudgement]

baxter can take a punch, but cant scrummage for shit =P

[041292sm]

i'm sorry but the guy in light blue took those punches like an absolute boss!

[MrFraser455]

@041292sm im a kiwi and u are right

[Tehui1974]

He should have yellow carded him. If this was one of the pacific island countries playing, he would have been given a red.

[nagsass]

Poor old Al, looks like superman, plays like Clark Kent.

[robertstokes52]

oh there's a real ding dong going on there

[rtd1995]

new zealanders getting away with murder

[Pisswizzard1234]

I'm all for not sending players off unnecessarily but bloody hell! Not even a yellow? The guy is stood about 6 feet from the linesman teeing off on the other bloke :-D

[gammyhandinit]

ding dong

[welsh4ever5]

If you want to see a bad ref take a look at Alain Rolland in the world cup semi final Wales v France his father was French so he never should have been the ref what a fucking tool this guy is

Alain Rolland sleep with one eye open

[moorey94]

@welsh4ever5 Like you're going to do anything, you don't realise how stupid you sound.

[whiteholedy88]

@welsh4ever5 Completely agree, what a disgrace that he was allowed to ref that game. In the papers it said he went to France on holiday once - clearly biased.

Or.... It was a red card offence and certain welsh supporters can't stomach that they lost.

[pHaZe017]

steve walsh, NZ favorite son... -.-

[Fayyaz82]

I was thinking the EXACT same thing lol. Maybe a cucumber, a carrot seems to small.

[bangerby]

How the fuck does the lino not see this? and is that ref a mincer?

[Spud171717]

Steve Walsh at his best

[187prettyboy]

I am a NZ supporter, but that clearly should have been a card for NZ prop Nathan White.

[HUTCHYinHD]

UUGH THERES A REAL DING DONG GOING ON THERE!

[doogiedog1234]

steve walsh refs with butt plugs inserted... its a fact

[xDontStandInTheFirex]

He has a birth deformity in his spine that's why he walks like that you fucking morons.

'Walsh's rugby playing career ended at age 13, due to a spinal injury resulting from a birth deformity and he began refereeing at the age of 16.'

Quoted from Wikipedia.

[BadNeighbour]

Thats one hell of a missed yellow (red even?) card.

[liamscooterwhite]

0:23

[hendrixtimestwo]

Al Baxter looks like superman but he plays like Clark Kent

[hendrixtimestwo]

Al Baxter looks like superman but he plays like Clark Kent

[TheBoganBear]

pissweak refereeing from both, should have been 2 yellows to the dirty kiwi cunts

[mikeygormley]

@TheBoganBear Personally I thought it was great refereeing. It's a hard game (not saying it should be a dirty game) but lads get involved on the pitch. Sending them to the bin just ruins the match.

[gavmcguinness8024]

Should have been a card given! You get a yellow for a high tackle but nothing for a punch?

[raachxx]

haha Tony Johnson is the man

[CAU5ONI92I]

David Luiz watches rugby from close up.. 1:07

[AdamWest4life]

@CAU5ONI92I Hahahahaha excellent spot there mate :)

[mahlstadt]

This referee recently attended some assertiveness training sessions with a psychologist.

[TobyHodges]

Baxter was just smiling at him - a true rugby player..

[imogen124]

Steve Walsh - shit ref - banned for throwing water at team officials - we hang our heads every time we get him .

[ACiiDzFTW]

what did the number 7 say when he made the ref laugh at 2:17?

[moffster]

@ACiiDzFTW I think he was just stating the obvious that there were punches thrown

[bcfsl]

If #3 had been South African, we'd never have heard the end of it...

[Mrsleepysheepy]

the ref walks like he has got a carrot up his arse

[tiluc658]

@Mrsleepysheepy at least he's getting one of his five a day... allbeit up his arse

[DRFC0910]

@Mrsleepysheepy its because of all the heroin ballons up his arse hole

[Nbsimons18]

steve walsh loves the cock

[geli329]

@Nbsimons18 Loves and is a cock.

[B055C0E]

damn nice quality, what equipment did you use to record this ?

[NZman747]

i came to that game for a rugby match but what i got was a bad boxing match

[LuddersAsh]

This video just shows how shit of a Ref steve walsh is

[79lion79]

@LuddersAsh

Absolute fact mate. this is not a vid about anything else but how inept this ref is. What a total puss out

[TheJOJAN90]

1:00, is that David Tua?

[TheEkul55]

2:07 ref strutting his stuff

[Stagtatstic]

@TheEkul55 he looks like a total fag there

[welsh4ever5]

This is what our beautiful game needs some times it sorts a few things out 2 props letting each other know what it's all about. I like this ref I just watched Wales v England where Alan Roland was the ref & 2 b honest he was bad even tho Wales won:-) we destroyed on the penalty count he's a disgrace

[bidefordrfc]

I'm in massive mixed minds about these situations... for example I like watching a biff (i enjoyed the French teams efforts..) but I can see mummy's watching won't want their little boy playing such a rough game, ALSO it sort of allows an influx of street thugs which believe rugby is about fighting a guy who does a hard legal tackle on them....

But then back the other way again, I'm sick of seeing someone get a yellow or red card for one punch... especially a weak punch....

[deathwish4eva]

@0oWHOTHAMANo0

you dont want to love that ref. To be honest hes a fag.

[0oWHOTHAMANo0]

I <3 that reff, he's so chill. The commentators are lads aswell :)

[tGarEpReP]

dont fuck with hika elliot, he'll drop you!

[thehofflovesyou]

Steve Walsh finds it hilarious! Al Baxter has a pretty solid chin by the looks of it though.

[gearsuvwar]

that ref is so chill, i wish all refs were like that!

[chocolatebear333]

is this s sport , or men just on top of each other

[CamiloSanchez1979]

Why is the referee so nice to them? Aren't they supposed to respect what he says? I dont get it

[welshmuzhik]

How Steve Walsh failed to give a yellow (at the least) is beyond me. Violent conduct = red. Its in the laws, and unambiguous.

[cardigan3000]

spineless reffing - wants to be everyones mate

[byrner19]

Fucking disgraceful from the ref, smiley retard!! Hope hes not at the world cup!

[william20111]

Steve walsh isnt a good ref but you just get the impression that he is a complete LAD.

[bakersteven3]

Steve Walsh is appaling as a ref. Whenever we get him inthe NH, we all groan !! He was terrible in the Lions tour. NZ has great rugby players, so can't you get some decent refs??

[11mitchos]

Man thats bad refereeing

[Tehui1974]

I'm a kiwi, but even I know that White should have got a yellow card. Referee steve walsh should stop referring to the players as 'mate'. He's there to do a job, not win mates. He doesn't have to blow every fcuken thing, but he should have down hard on this one.

[lachynf18]

he puches like a fuckn gimp

[87Kiwiboi]

@lachynf18 serious? Could you take one of those?

[lachynf18]

@87Kiwiboi well its a piss poor effort for a pro rugby player. but no not at 15

[87Kiwiboi]

@lachynf18 fair enough, but I reckon it would be pretty hard to drop Al Baxter

[lachynf18]

@87Kiwiboi yea youd wanna land a few good ones to rock him, or a shovel...

[rob12192]

steve walsh is a such a fucking moron. 'What i'm concerned about is you coming in with a forearm' - so if he's throwing cheap shots give him a card! don't just fucking talk to him. Absolute idiot and the worst referee in world rugby.

[TopRugbyLad]

Absolute bullshit! Rugby is the best contact sport for having a 4th man to refer decisions to, why can't they refer fights like that? Linesman must also be blind, I know Earl is a big bloke, but he's not going to block the linesman's sight of three haymakers!

[MrBaggies4lyf]

The referee looks like he loves his job so much, he's always smiling.

[DrFijiFanclub]

@MrBaggies4lyf - he's got a bit of a camp wiggly walk too.

[PAMSMraberts]

Not only does Al Baxter collapse almost every scrum he engages in, he even collapses a punch up!

[britishbulldog15]

Surely that was worthy of a sin binning offence.........what a faggot referee.

[cheyanqui]

@britishbulldog15 -- agreed, but Walsh was relying on the nearside Touch judge who said he couldn't say for certain if they connected. Walsh didn;t see the it directly -- he was watching the ball. Basically with Munro's report, Walsh was locked into that half-ass call.

[MrScottirobbo1985]

that ref is lapping up the mic and camera time

[ragers66]

@MrScottirobbo1985 You're not wrong there! Walsh is a bloody show pony. Really good when he first came on the scene, then went to shit later on when he realized he was in the spotlight.

Can't handle his piss either.

[keebs01]

how did he not get yellow carded for that!!

[adammmr]

aww some nice connections there Whitey. Love the no card either :P .

[doggishfool]

Does steve even listen to other people "I could see 3 black throwing punches "

"alright so 1 black?" "no 3 black"

[mjhansford]

I love the referee lauging about it at 2:20.

[187prettyboy]

Nathan White can't scrummage. At least he's good at something.

[warofthemonsters1]

good reffing

[MrSEEDBAG]

He fights coz he cant scrummage for shit , i feel for u chief fans

[zooyork384]

to much weights not enuff speed work. chur bro

[shaneshaneist]

that ref loves himself and is most likely gay! look at his walk @2:05

[kaino1990]

@shaneshaneist HAHAHAHA listen to the music in the background.. sounds like some gay 80s dance movie

[rugbylover95]

cards are given away too easy these days, my dad got drop kicked int he chest from the hooker after a line out and no card was given, just hit him, thats what we need today! forget the cards just let them hand out their own justice!!!

[pyro999maniac]

that must be a card! no need for this ill discipline.

[T00nL1nk]

check out that ding dong

[iceremix]

unleash is WRONG.. he threw 5 BIG right hands and still the other guy didnt go down.. useless in my book.. str8 out uselss..

[KwyKz0r]

haha chilled as ref. Sweet.

[drtyda]

@KwyKz0r thats steve walsh he was probably pissed when he was reffing haha

[87Kiwiboi]

@drtyda very possible hahah

[GrungeMetalRocker]

nathan white cant punch to save his life BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAAAAA !!!!!

[welshmuzhik]

Blind touch judge, a straight red

[drewid78]

Steve Walsh is a complete cockend.

[theaquaplanet]

Steve Walsh is the best referee ..in the world at the moment...

Maybe ever...

He should be the man to refer to for any major game and especially World cup games...panache, syle and a master understanding of the way the game should be played.....let's refer to him for the way the game should be played and in the spirit of it....Steve Walsh is a LEGEND....Springbok Man....What says you boys?

[welshmuzhik]

@theaquaplanet I'm afraid I totally disagree - panache, style etc are not requirements for good refereeing, sound decision-making is, and this is clearly the wrong decision, should have been a straight red.

[eenewsy]

haha. hilarious referee. he takes his job more like a day out with the lads than a real career

[eRaGoN0dRaGoN]

That referee smiles sooo much.

[stumodman]

Al was the aggressor he was trying to break Whites fist with his chin

[Ub3rSk1llz]

I hate Big Al...but he must have a rock hard chin..Or the kiwi couldnt knock the skin off a rice pudding.....Steve walsh is a weak prick..He should have sin binned white at least for throwing a couple...goo the reds

[lewisx20x20x20]

that nathan white is a fag.... couldnt get cleaner hits on target and he did even drop that al baxter guy

[jdprinsloo]

What the hell is Steve Walsh doing while talking to Messam, is he styling his hair? So bloody typical. Or perhaps he was holding his head in anticipation of the hangover he was going to have the next morning...

[shmall16]

savage punches.

[tomspenwil]

steve walsh thinks hes a massive celebrity and better than the players! plus how was the no yellow for the black 3!!

[maristsp]

@tomspenwil because this is new zealand and we understand fighting is apart of football. u cant be too aggressive. .

[handydandy101]

I want European commentators to be like these guys!! When ever a few handbags are thrown they look down on it in shame, down under it's great :L

[chickenfillets74]

@handydandy101

That's because it is shameful. The respect and culture of rugby are what make it great. The reason NH commentators looked down on this is-

1. It's stupid play that costs your team if you get involved.

2. These players are ambassadors of the sport, each and every one of them, and we do not need the youth to watch an incident like this and think it's acceptable. What's more, to think it's amusing.

If you don't understand that, then you don't understand rugby.

[mikeygormley]

Personally I think commentators are idiots but that's just my opinion.

[HitMeQuick]

@mikeygormley In a sense Mike you are a commentator here on youtube. I tell you what, I might be jumping the gun, but from what you've given us I don't think you could do much better. Also your name would attract derisory chanting from the terraces.

[mikeygormley]

@HitMeQuick Ah there we go. So I did say it. However your response was more than banter and you know it so you're still a cunt!

[HitMeQuick]

@mikeygormley Mike. Calm down dear, you're hysterical. As you say all commentators are idiots and what they need is a man like you who swears a lot and can't take a bit of ribbing. I don't know why no one has come knocking at your door really.

[mikeygormley]

@HitMeQuick Because I'm a hysterical asshole who jumps the gun and swears insults at people. I mean you said it yourself!!!

[HitMeQuick]

@mikeygormley Yes (that was the point Einstein). The term 'tick Mick' (which I suppose I'd better point out is a term of derision for a stupid Irish person before you accuse me of bad spelling) has never been more apt. I shall leave you to stare - confused - at potatoes dere Mick. Good day to you.

[mikeygormley]

@HitMeQuick I know it was moron. Doesn't get sarcasm and is a racist prick with a pathetic penchant for tired clichés. Add that to Cunt and I guess we have you sussed out.

[HitMeQuick]

@mikeygormley "We" can see that you don't understand sarcasm dere potato head. You've got so much wrong in this game of you tube ping pong (including your bizarre personal messages accusing me of deleting comments and denying you made certain comments) that I genuinely assume I am now talking to thatch headed idiot. Show me where you have used sarcasm. I've used it.: "what they need is a man like you who swears a lot an can't take a bit of ribbing." You tried to use it but ran over your own foot

[supertrampmonty]

steve walsh is a cunt

[alex2007cfc]

awww there's a real ding dong going on there
