Players must be protected, if multiple players fouled the same opponent the YC must be brandished. The whole point of multiple players doing this is to avoid the YC and as refs we must protect skillful players.

Yellow for me too

With Paul Rieffel and Paul Wilson umpiring the third test, has there been another recent occurrence where two test players have umpired a test at the same time?

New Zealand smashed Covid as did Taiwan.
Here in Australia our state governments went hard early on it. Borders were closed unless essential.
Victoria has just come out of their hard lockdown that went for over 100 says. But here is the evidence
On July 30, England had 600 or so cases and Victoria had 700. The Victorian Premier went to hard lockdowns and the whole state almost stopped. He rode the negative media especial from Murdoch media.
Today Victoria are now 4 days in a row with 0 community transition.
New South Wales is down to under 4 community transition a day and our contact tracing is amazing!!!

How to beat Covid look to these 3 countries; NZ Aus and Taiwan.

In every game here in NSW each official must keep a full record of the game. Not good enough at that level.

Interesting to see Uriah Rennie mentioned. I concur with my learned colleague. He was outstanding when he started on the Premier League but fell away. i do not know if you remember but he used 'alternate' Lineman/assistant referee running pattern. When he got his FIFA badge he had a year away from the Premier League and when he came back he used the traditional running pattern that is now universal. After that Uriah was never the same in my humble opinion as he had to now concentrate too much on his running and positioning and this often saw him in the wrong position.

The Australian A-League is still going ahead albeit with no crowd and the minimum amount of people actually at the game.

Not sure if this is already posted.

Not sure how accurate this list is.

If it is correct then the UEFA refs look fairly inexperienced compared to the last 3 or 4 editions of the World Cup. If it is correct then the referees are going to have a busy 2 years coming up.
