I don't know about you, but I have been sick of the inability of the IRB to take any meaningful leadership in these games.
Referees:
a) inconsistency in the way offending has been disciplined
b) interpretation of rucks/mauls & general play by referees
c) offsides and offending at scrums
d) strip colour's and entitlement of team colours
e) defending appauling decisions by referees
f) selection of referees and touch judges
g) flagrant inability to refuse technology to assist fair play
and so on. Personally, I would like to see each director who was part of this world cup to be interviewed and give an account of their poor management. Surely they must have performance reviews, but by whom? Themselves?
For me this world cup is not about showcasing the best in the world, its about political preferences and money. What a debacle! How can anyone, truly interested in the betterment of rugby, even consider this circus a true representation in finding the worlds best team?
