SARugbymag.co.za followers have decided that referee Matthew Carley had everything well under control between the Springboks and Italy on Saturday.

In a poll run after Carley blew for full time, 41% voted that the Englishman had called matters fairly for both teams in the 63-21 win for the Boks in Genoa.

Rassie Erasmus’ criticism of officiating has been widely documented, yet only a combined 8% of readers thought that Carly had a mediocre to poor outing, while the rest rated his performance as more than satisfactory.
