[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 934948, member: 20605"] I agree. In an ideal world, all referees in cross borders competitions will be from neutral countries, and the only time that, say a NZ team would be refereed by a NZ referee is if they are playing another NZ team. Unfortunately, this ideal world costs a lot of time and money. It would mean that every time a Australian teams was touring The Republic, NZ referees would need to travel there too. Also if there are not an equal number of referees from each country, it places a lot of additional stress on the smaller number of referees who had to travel more and control more games. We saw what happened when that was the case in Australia when they had an cute shortage of top level referees (only Stuart Dickinson was up to the standard required) so some got pushed up to a level where they simply were, at that time, not up to it (James Leckie, Andrew Lees, Matt Goddard). Look at your own case - Federico Anselmi would referee to whole season away from Argentina [/QUOTE]
