Cant see what the fuss is about here.
Every good captain knows how to "play" the ref.
Whether this helps their team is another question and it's up to the all officials not to get intimidated or influenced by players.
As for Gale, he should have been the GB scrum half ahead of Smith, all day long and has an excellent rugby brain.
As for the hair style, it's probably a fair swap for his RL attributes but, it's a close run thing
