For some reason it is back up on the Rugby World Cup official page.

A few phone calls pinging around WR (World Rugby) HQ lol

Refereeing decisions: many in the Wallaroos game vs USA. So. Many.

There were a few weren't there.

There were a few weren't there.

More broadly: I don't think I've seen obstruction called at a maul once this whole tournament.

No, I haven't seen it in the two Wallaroos games I watched. I noticed too, but I've now forgotten what it was, but there was something called in the US game that I don't often see called in the Men's game. I'm going to have to re-watch it to find out what it was.

15 minutes into Wallaroos v England.

Referee finally found England's offside line

WR (World Rugby) needs to sink a lot of money into female officiating support. This RWC has been pretty ordinary, all things considered

I've been trying to find time to watch the whole game. This morning I managed the last 10 minutes of the first half and I won't watch any more.

From minute 34 onward there were some absolute shockers IMHO. England don't really need the help. Nevertheless...

The lack of explanation from the ref was pretty noticeable, and something they will need to work on as women's rugby gets more eyeballs.

Eg. What was that scrum free kick for?
