[QUOTE="ncurd, post: 1053852, member: 72205"] I bought this up in the original thread (might be this one) the biggest issue you have to not having different interpretations especially at the international level is training combined with the complexity of the game. The training for referees is different per union right down to the grass roots level that means by the time they come to international level they've essentially been taught to ref the game different to a counterpart from another nation. This is philosophical in nature such as when you should let things slide ie. which laws you are enforcing and when. Some there appears to be consensus such as crooked scrum feeds but other like offside get a lot more grey. You can get the international referee together and work on a lot of common framework but you won't remove their base ideas ingrained over the years. I'm all up for better accountability when they've made staggeringly bad decisions but in the general game they need a lot more slack. [/QUOTE]
