[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 713436, member: 40658"] Oh but there is. I just think that the Governing Body, World Rugby, are too lazy to do that. Their biggest focus is to get the money in. But like I mentioned before, If they can have a World Summit, where everybody gets together and use that as a pillar to work from, I think it could just be to the benefit of everyone. Nigel Owens is not a technical referee, whereas Craig Joubert is over-technical in my opinion. Like I said, it's a matter of interpretation. And if the laws are interpreted differently, then amend the law so that Nigel Owens and Craig Joubert call it the same. Just like a knock-on call. The refs always seem to get the knock-ons right, yet they always seem to get it wrong. As for Refereeing, I can only speak for South African referees, but most of the refs in SA do it as a career, the young ones coming through goes to university and studies it, and then goes through the ranks as a career referee. Most of them start off on the Seven's Circuit, which is basically a quarter of the year that you are travelling the globe. I know Mark Lawrence is an optometrist, but he was basically his own boss, so he could lock-up and go. Marius Jonker was a detective in the police force before he became a proffesional referee. Refs are always under pressure, because they put themselves in that position. They picked this job, and they went on to learn the ins and outs of the law book. If there is an issue they are uncomfortable with, then they should speak up. an [I]Ex Parte[/I] -case on behalf of the referees might not be such a bad idea if the referees feel that there are changes to be made.
