Opinion: Why World Rugby doesn’t care about your referee frustrations | geerob

into the orbits of World Rugby, England’s RFU and the Welsh Rugby Union 18 months ago.

We don’t hear about it much down here but you can bet it consumes large chunks of the agenda of the World Rugby executive committee, as well their legal, risk and communications teams.
