Twitter rages as ref 'robs' Sharks

The Sharks lost by 15 points against the Waratahs on Saturday, but there was plenty of controversy along the way. 

The record books won't tell the story of Australian referee Rohan Hoffman's influence, but Twitter sure will. 

Social media was abuzz following Saturday's clash, which ended 33-18 in favour of the home side, as rugby lovers and critics voiced their concern with what they had seen from Hoffmann.

Sport24 selected some of the more striking reactions.
