    Rugby broadcasts so much of what the referee says and it’s honestly great for the sport. Shows how players and refs should interact, gives a model for all levels of the sport.

      But it’s all performative, they know and act like they’re talking live on tv.

      I kinda prefer the unvarnished chaos we get to hear with VAR.

      Also what’s being said is pretty much what you expect to hear.

        Which is fine. They are operating to a standard and if they don’t do so it becomes obvious live on TV.
