Anyone know who has Australia v New Zealand. I would love to Jarred Gillett get it. He represents England and would have refereed most of the players as they made their way through the A-League.

For me this is a good decision by the VAR and the reason we have it. Gillett made a good call with what he saw and at the speed of the incident. VAR has the time and ability to have a second look and that sets the review in motion. Once it is reviewed and the considerations are applied- it is a red card.
I would like to think that the marking system does not mark Gillett down for this as it's not a howler, took at least 3 views before the lay man goes Red Card.

Can someone post the refereeing team for Scotland v England.

Nemisis I agree so what, but Matt Messias might disagree.....

IMHO Mr Oliver is a much better referee than the one who took charge of the Champions League semifinal a few years back. More mature, calm and confident. All referees can learn from this.

In NSW some of our rugby league referees wear GoPros during games. Really sad it has come to that.

Personally I am over the defence of "it is only one or two fans" or a "handful of fans". While we accept this, there will be no improvement. When points are deducted then the silent majority might stand up for their team and do something. As a referee who has been verbally and physically abused, including being verbally abused when I have gone to watch a game, I am over the people with the attitude of I have paid my money so I am entitled to say what I want. In the end it was the amount of abuse that caused me to leave the field and I left at a decent level here in Australia.
