Re: RWC refs
I've missed most of the Wales game, but I've already seen 3 or 4 times Dixon has needed to be bailed out by his TMO on really not hard to make calls.

Re: RWC refs
Between the officiating team they've done a fair job. When considering Dickson is on the whistle and Jonker the TMO that's impressive.

Re: RWC refs
Ref for England Japan was excellent, imo. Very communicative, let the game flow as much as England's tactics would allow, and got all the big calls right.

Re: RWC refs
He had it easier than some because he only had to referee a few minutes of actual rugby, but I agree he was excellent. Impresses me more and more every time I see him.

Re: RWC refs
Right now i'd put Nika Amashukeli in the top 5 refs in the world. Maybe top 3.....

Latest instalment in our, apparently regular, "what is the TMO actually doing?" series...

Yeah, World Rugby will have gotten Musk's shambles to take down the video.
It's a pretty obvious stamp on the damaged hand by the sub prop.

If Italy were an island in the pacific we’d be having some tin foil hat theories about Carey’s performance.

Re: RWC refs
Seen some grumbles about Pearce in SA v Tonga but honestly didn't see much wrong bar the usual failure to spot SA offside at literally every ruck
