[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 738046, member: 40658"] No it wouldn't. I said WR should look at this. And they are the ones who appoint referees for matches. No nation has any control over which referee is selected for which match. What [USER=54150]@austingtir[/USER] is showing with regards to [USER=20605]@smartcooky[/USER]'s post is that certain referees have a history of matches with a specific team. If they were in charge for let's say 4 or 5 matches and all of those matches had controversy or a certain result or whatever, then it should qualify that WR investigate the matter. Remember, referees are also just human, and with international matches the referees are neutral, but there could be some form of biasness towards a certain nation or player. For all we know Romain Poite's great-grandfather's uncle was a French Hugenot in South Africa in the late 1700's / early 1800's and he was shot by a Voortrekker over a farm dispute or something.
