Link worked for me.

To be fair, if World Rugby just removed John Lacey (example in linked article) from officiating that would automatically improve things and minimise confusion.

Or just stop favouring the Kiwis all the time, might improve the quality of rugby vastly.

My biggest gripe since 2008.
BTW Do the Irish breed duff refs? Lacey and the Funky Fitzgibbon?

Don't forget Clancy.

Isn't Greg Garner involved at top in some way too? Pro14 Elite ref head or something like that?

Thanks, Tigerbeat, I missed that! He certainly knew how to pick a side for each half!

The only problem is that Craig Maxwell Keyes has replaced him.

On field team should have to make an actual call. Then it takes clear evidence to overturn it. None of this 'Try, no try' nonsense, either you think it's good or you don't.
