[QUOTE="Thingimubob, post: 899692, member: 20956"] Definitely a good idea, and considering the Premier Sports deal, hopefully one they'll have the money to cover! There's still part of me fuming at a Blues vs Leinster game last season that ended up with not only an Irish ref, but one directly employed by Leinster... who had a couple of dubious decisions go their way in a tight win. While I'm not saying the ref went out there to help Leinster win or anything, but like you said, it just looks very bad to have a the ref linked to one of the teams playing if any sort of controversial decisions do happen. The standard of refereeing has been a joke in the Pro 14 for a while now anyway, so it's something that really needs to be looked at. [/QUOTE]
