Interesting choice to have this 27 year old kid as the ref. He did okay but certainly there were some mistakes and that yellow card was borderline.

The yellow card was way worse than borderline. McCallister was turning away from the chaser to go after the ball himself, the French guy ran into him. No way it was a penalty, let alone a yellow card. Missing the forward pass by both the ref and touch judge was inexcusable too.
NZ should have still won the game, but if those two calls are correct, the All Blacks win period.
