[QUOTE="MotherRucker1, post: 725373, member: 72442"] Referees have always made mistakes and of course they are human. No one expects them to be machines (well, few of us do). It's just the frequency of the mistakes and the basic nature of them this year. There is pressure on them due to a myriad of rules (some of which are needless) and that is a separate discussion, but there are other times where you just think "WTF?" especially when they are looking right at something and even the opposition coach after the game concedes it was a bad call. Yeah the Canes/Chiefs game saw a fair bit of moaning, but the thing is referees are dictating who wins and who loses with bad calls all the time now. Harsh as it sounds, they can either fix it or lose more rugby followers. I've always said we need BETTER rugby, not MORE rugby. Don't worry about adding Japan and Argentina and every other Tom, Dick and Harry who wants a ride on the gravy train. fix this crap before you do anything. Because right now if you're not a dedicated follower like some of us, rugby has just become a dull, dour, and poorly officiated sport. [/QUOTE]
