'That's a yes!' Force fans co-sign Turinui's cheeky confirmation that KB will be staying out west

SANZAR has brought a misconduct complaint against Blues assistant coach Sir Graham Henry following his provocative criticism of Super Rugby match officials.
Former All Blacks coach Henry’s comments came in the wake of the Blues’ 23-3 loss to the Crusaders on Saturday.
The complaint has been referred to SANZAR duty judicial officer Jannie Lubbe, and will take place via teleconference on Sunday.
SANZAR alleges Henry’s comments amount to misconduct under its disciplinary rules and also breach its code of conduct.
Blues technical adviser Henry said New Zealand television match official Keith Brown got two crucial decisions wrong during the game at Christchurch.
“He is probably a blind TMO is he?” Henry said.
He described a yellow card awarded to Blues lock Cullum Retallick for deliberately knocking down a pass as “bulls**t”, and said it was “ludicrous” that Blues winger Frank Halai wasn’t awarded a penalty try in a separate incident.
Henry also said Crusaders prop Wyatt Crockett “got away with murder” at scrum time.
