[QUOTE="SomeOke, post: 990267, member: 59145"] Obviously a bit of a worry, and there is definitely a chance South African refs are showing an unconscious bias (I don't think SA refs are cheating on purpose). That said I'd need the statistics to be verified, I couldn't find a breakdown or a source other than a tweet from Green and Gold Rugby which is an Australian website. Questions like, what was the sample size and why? How did it compare to non-home referees rate at Newlands or Buenos Aires etc? What exactly counts as a home ref? What kind of spread was there in terms of variance etc. Statistics are too broad to make a conclusion yet. That said I think it's OK to acknowledge that there [I]might [/I]be a problem. [/QUOTE]
