Referee abuse is not only a Southern Hemisphere occurrence. Let’s wait for the outcome of the disciplinary hearing to see if Jaco was wrong. Refs need to enforce the laws, how ridiculous they might be. #irlveng #redcard #referees

In Nov with Eddie Jones in charge, England drew against NZ and lost with 14 points against SA. Eddie Jones can’t be blamed for yesterday’s performance. Worst defence I’ve seen in years. Borthwick must take responsibility. #ENGvFRA

Can somebody please tell Lions fans that lockdown is over and they’re allowed back inside the stadium?

Couple of questions for any referees here: A) Does Sharks 9 put pressure on the ball on the line first? B) Is Ulster 12 not diving on a ball coming out of the ruck? C) Is the above question void as the ball is on the line?

Not sure if it is the humidity, but the ref in #lionsvsglasgow is struggling big time to keep up with the game! #lateatbreakdowns #referees #urc

Lets hope @WorldRugby select a squad of inform refs for the #RWC2023. If an inform ref has a lot of experience, its a bonus. #referees #RWC2023

The reason Marius vd Westhuizen needs so much assistance from the AR’s and TMO is because he walks more on the field than players. He is missing crucial incidents. #bullsvsstormers #urc #referees #latetobreakdown

Seems like the wrong call. sarugbymag.co.za/france-prop…

Hmm. Why wasn’t this angle offered up by the host broadcaster for the TMO 🤔 #Irevfra

Apart from the controversy, I do believe that older senior refs struggle to keep up with the pace of the game and have an influence on decision making. #referees #SixNations2023

And somewhere in Australia, Eddie Jones had a chuckle.

I hope this collective voice will also communicate on a regular basis with supporters to address any concerns and questions.

This is the type of calls that frustrates supporters. Not a word or statement afterwards. Just accept the call.

Jaysus! That's a red card today and ever other day of the week.
