[QUOTE="Mrs. Peter Quinn, post: 1155867, member: 12190"] I think both football and rugby are both discovering in their separate ways that refereeing with these new review systems is still only as good as the weakest link in the system, whether that's the 1st or 4th official. A separate issue which feels unique to rugby is the relatively poor level of public understanding of the rules, not made any easier by the fairly complex nature of the rules and ambiguity and inconsistency in application. I think a lot of the time the average spectator doesn't have a clue what's going on. When I used to go to wasps games before, y' know, I'd often have to explain to my dad why a penalty was given - and he's watched an absolute ton of rugby. I liked the idea above of at least quickly flashing up reasons for decisions on screen, including for tmo decisions. Despite the football Comparison I made, rugby has bigger issues. The scrum hasn't been a particular issue this world cup but I still don't feel good about it given how important it is and how random the decisions can be. [/QUOTE]
