The only thing I want to see are the Laws consistently applied, especially within the game. Last night for instance we saw the French whip wheel the English scrum and win the turn over for it going through 90. The very next scrum, not five minutes later, the French got penalised for the very same thing.
The referees MUST watch some videos of teams, as I am sure they do, but actually take notice of how teams play. The ABs at breakdown are still diving in, and play offside, Woodcock hand down in most scrums. The Wallabies first player arriving at the ruck dive off their feet 90% of the time or at best bridge over the tackled player. These things are obvious game after game and continue on and on. They are so frustrating to watch get penalised once and then forgotten about.
Four years on from the RWC in which refs were very seriously bagged out, POB's apology, and other major refereeing issues in the meantime we still have a situation where at least 50% of the referees on display here are questionable. Yesterday as I said on another thread Joubert and Walsh set the marker for top refereeing. Tonight was a huge let down from that marker. Neither of these blokes performances were up to standard. In fact Lawrence is arguably never been up to a high enough standard.
