    Naploeon syndrome methinks.

    courtesy wikipedia :
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napoleon_complex
    Napoleon complex is a colloquial term describing an alleged type of inferiority complex which is said to affect some people, especially men, who are short in stature. The term is also used more generally to describe people who are driven by a perceived handicap to overcompensate in other aspects of their lives. This term is also known as Napoleon syndrome,[1] Short Man syndrome,[2] Little Man syndrome and Small Man syndrome.
    AKA small dog syndrome !

    Isn't there some old saying that says "good teams can overcome dodgy refs"?

    I would not insult Jack Russells who are tough little buggers who never give up. Even when they are getting a belting, they don't blame someone else.

    It would never happen, but I'd just love to see the ref walk up to one of the scrums this weekend and make like he's going to scrum down with the ABs...

    You've got it all wrong, tho only complaint PdV had with the ref's body language was the direction his arm was pointing after the whistle blew.

    Yeah but they lost so bring on the excuses! What is the fun in losing if you can't make excuses for it?
