Great insight into what the referees have to go through. Nice interview Jim and more stuff like this would be good. I once worked alongside a siting official and the behind the scenes stuff with that was really interesting. It all hopefully helps improve the game we love without ruining the excitement of a very tough sport to play and to ref.

Great interviews as always Jim. I love the lighting behind Frank 👍

So interesting to hear how it works behind the scenes for refs.

What was Craig Jouberts marks? For final v France 2011 and Australia v Scotland? Did he lose marks for fleeeing the pitch? 🤭

9:00 > Refs have their suspicions what I given team may get wrong on a regular basis, which is then confirmed by the opposition (because they don't have an agenda) and we're expected to except that refs are objective?

Shouldn’t be within an asses roar of a WC match.

Worst ref in all of rugby

And proved it again today. Did more for Munster todayn than he ever managed in his playing career.

@@ronanmcallister1232 you won't find me saying anything about Peyper. He had no impact on the final which La Rochelle well deserved to win. Good to see you making the most of the good weather though. Is it sunny in your basement?
