No complaints for the officials from me today. Apart from the
lack of a caution to Merino for a pullback.
For Kavanagh, that was an easy game to preside over. Even a few
smiles from him today.

I’m pleased that Kavanagh took the appropriate action rather
than copping out and going yellow. Many challenges as poor as
this one don’t get the sanction they deserve. Challenges like
this curtailed the career of the brilliant Marco van Basten
amongst others. Absolutely the correct decision.
Missed a yellow for SPA by Merino but otherwise a good
performance.
