We scored our try in the first 5 minutes by pushing them off their put-in and scoring in the corner. From then every scrum they had inexplicably went down as soon as we put a shove on, and the ref failed to do anything.
Just before half time with the scores 10-10 it happened again in our 22. Our prop went mad and said he'd sue the ref if he got injured, unless the ref did something to stop them going down, the ref said he wasn't interested in it and had already blown up for out number 8 breaking early (which is suspicious since we never heard it and when we looked up play was still going on in the centers).
I told him I'd take my team off unless he did something to make the scrums safe, so he sent me off. Since I didn't threaten him, or swear, or even question his decision, he was clearly being an arse and it seems the Berkshire society agree with me.
