[QUOTE="dirty harry, post: 1156040, member: 86934"] To be fair to what you call 'armchair experts' which is about 90% of any sports fanbase btw, the laws of rugby arent easy, and are consta fly updating and changing. I've had to explain to people why kicking the conversion doesnt solidify the try any more, why diving on a loose ball within a metre of a ruck isnt allowed, or even the difference between painting a picture and why refs allow the jackle palms up, and not palm down when players clearly have their weight on the floor. I would consider myself a decent level ref, and a high level coach even though I left that career behind and havnt coached for a few years, however even I lose track of changes every now and then. It isnt an easy sport to follow. When in comparison to something like football, where the most complex law is the offside, it is wild to think everyone can stay up to date [/QUOTE]
