    That feels like a Hail Mary move for Webb, and if really doesn’t sound like one which is going to work.

    Inexperienced referees with a potential unconscious bias is going to make things worse, not better. Not to mention it undermines the confidence of the current referees even further.

    Any young people aspiring to be referees are going to be demotivated as well.

    Any other profession and Webb is out of a job now.

      True. Imagine a referee giving a team a bad call because the fans called him a cunt 20 years ago. Humans can be very petty.

      They obviously wouldn’t officiate games for the clubs they played for, or their rivals. Current referees are already subject to restrictions like this, everyone has a favourite club that they’re going to be biased towards.

        mate, they let officiate referees who are on UAE payroll, they don’t give about conflict of interest

    They are going to try everything but facing up to the reality that the organisation is too close to current referees to actually do the job of keeping them accountable.

      Honestly, getting rugby referees (would have to be a majority presence mind) in would be incredible. Complete Change of culture and competency
