Ben O'Keeffe is the ref. Not the news Blues fans will be wanting.

Haven't seen any comment

Maybe he has a niggle? It wouldn't be the first time this year the injured list didn't include small knocks

Just having a break, the Blues pack is massive I've got it at 935kg the boys have all put on 2-3 kg under Vern , his style

Darry will be at Auckland, next year after Canterbury contract ends , must be following Segner

Why the hell not? In top 4-5 refs in the world, so why would the Blues problem??

Yeah Canterbury have a lot of young locks coming through.
Gallagher,Cahill,Hannah plus a couple in the u/20s Sa,Jack and Frost.
He played poorly in last NPC for Canterbury time to move on.

Darry had had few injuries as Gallagher has had good for NZ rugby these guys coming forward

Refs differently against the Blues, particularly when it's the Cantabs. When the pressure comes on he is wildly inconsistent.

He earned the nickname Ben O'Thief.

Mate I a neutral, so I can assure you I see it differently. He's only called O'Thief by poor losers, as is the case when anyone does it about a ref.
