For ages, I’ve said (at top tier) we need actual official scrutiny of the decisions, release the scores of the refs, establish a minimal/maximal error rate, be clear about all the ratings, and publish season end stats so just like with teams or players, the ref rankings are well known. Pay them all better. Have a scrum and offside ref. TMO can be anywhere; why present? NBA has many refs; and as much subjectivity as rugby. But far fewer poorly reffed games. If we pro, be pro. If we an old boys amateur game, yes, let’s all be good old boys. I think we need to go pro.
Rassie forgets rugby Law 0.0 'all things in rugby are okay as long as the ref misses it!'
