Without having the time to go through all incidents over the last few years it's my opinion from recent banning so that French and Italian players get the shittier end of the stick in terms of length of bans for what I'd consider similar offences. Certainly in the last 2 world cups I though that the Pacific island nations got a few bans where tier one nations avoided Citings for similar offences. The scheduling is clearly an issue, though I don't think that it was as bad this WC. I think my main issue with refs is that they consistently make big errors, factor in the fact that rugby union is probably the sport that is most influenced by a referees interpretation. I know that the "big" team often seem like they are getting the decisions but that's a day product of them being 'on top' and having the momentum. I don't see huge errors like this in football, errors are made yes, but rugby union comes across so amateurish in comparison...look at Scorlands last few matches-nobody can deny that they were knocked out of the WC by a terrible decision that should have been got right. They also lost to Wales to a try that the try scorer was about 5 metres offside, despite reviewing it on video all the officials missed it. For me that's simply not good enough, those decisions should be made rcorrectly as the video ref can review it over and over. If you think (not you) that's me bitching and moaning about the ref rather than wanting a certain standard of officiating for the game I love then fair enough.

Noise, randomness, ballistic uncertainty.
For me that is as clear cut overacting to get a player a card, yeah he grabs part of his head that's been hit but he appeals then hits the deck, it's shameful behaviour for me. I'm sure he's hurt and it was foul play. You deal with that by asking the captain to ask the ref to take a look at the incident. I can't condone this type of behaviour or mitigate it because of him being targeted.
