Felt like we were playing All Blacks: Buford
Buford was not impressed with the refereeing in the win over the Breakers.
___
"It felt like we were playing the All Blacks out there with the physicality of the game," he said.
"Freedom of movement went totally out the window.
"Every play, they're grabbing, holding ... every single time, on a screen, on a cut, we just couldn't move as they were holding us."
The Breakers led the foul count 20-8 but Buford believes the discrepancy would have been even more lopsided had every single infringement been whistled.
"I know the foul count was heavily slanted one way but it could have been double that, honestly," he said.
