Yep.

I've often been cynical of referees and the decisions that they make, but yesterday, I thought that Mr Leahy had a good game, and when he spoke to either team at an infringement, he made sure it was understood.

I too thought it was Kesik (but could easily be wrong).

I thought that he controlled the game in a very sensible manner. He could have penalised both teams many times for offside but appeared to take the view that if effort was being made to get back (in those conditions) then that was good enough.

I also have to agree that the ref was far better than any other ref we have seen this year at our level.
