[QUOTE="Curls, post: 1129600, member: 46674"] Respectfully I actually worked in the review area in pro rugby (not in Ireland) and can safely tell you if the officials "rushed off" they would be busted down to J1. Its mandatory for all pro referees to carry out a post game review. It's non negotiable. Rushing off post game without this is akin to running off at 70 mins because you're late for a function. Post match review takes minimum 90 mins. As per World Rugby Elite Standards the referee does his own written review post game without any access to replays or analysis. He then meets the review team which is anywhere from 1-3 guys. If the URC are not doing this then it's shocking and well below the standards of other competitions. The official review is accessible to both teams should they ask for it. Critical Incident Reports go to the Competition Board and World Rugby to be adjudicated on. Nobody but these bodies have access to its content but usually should a team inquire on the day the review team will confirm if one was raised. The incident in question was a clear hand on the ground and it was in the window around the drop goal so is judged as influential. Murphy was shown the footage in the review and admitted the error. Had Frawley landed the kick then Leinster win but had Murphy done his job Munster wouldn't have scored that drop goal. Officiating as a whole in the URC is in the toilet. This is because the pathway for referees was wrecked. I worked abroad in referee development and pathways and can tell you that England, France, Australia, South Africa and New Zealand are streets ahead of the likes of Ireland, Wales and Scotland. The latter 3 are racked with insider knowledge, bias and flat out Nepotism. Let's just say this is very relevant here. In the Southern Hemisphere if you're good enough you'll gey your chance. The Leinster Branch lost a number of talented referees around 2014-2016 after numerous referees were promoted based on totally inflated assessment reports and the previously mentioned nepotism. These talanted guys essentially packed it in. One of those guys I know personally who's name was really being touted as one for the future is now working somewhere in the Middle East and reffing on the side. Word is he's been picked up by Asia Rugby but its well below his potential. He was very put out by his treatment by the IRFU and if you want a sour Leinsterman look no further than him.

Somebody told me that if you look at the referees from the IRFU, WRU and SRU currently in pro rugby you will find they all know someone of influence. I can only speak with certainty in relation to guys I know personally. Broadly I think a lot of people agree that the RWC will probably be heavily influenced by poor officiating and errors. [/QUOTE]
