Not sure I agree with giving Matthew Carley & Karl Dickson 2
games as I think there was an opportunity to use one of the up
and coming refs for example Craig Evans, Chris Busby, Hollie
Davidson & Luc Ramos. No sign of Takehito Namekawa either who is
another Referee who has a lot of promise. The big games go to
the usual lot which is fine but some games definitely could have
seen some of the up and coming refs

I agree, and I have to say I'm completely underwhelmed!!
Whilst I am pleased that Paul Williams in a way gets some well
deserved recognition, I'm staggered that WR don't give
appointments to some referees that could really do with as much
international refereeing experience as they can get before the
next WC.
1 debut with Brousset was expected - Why no further debut
appointments or 2 matches for those that could do with the
experience such as Piardi or Doleman as opposed to Dickson &
Carley beggars belief!
Far too many English appointments for my liking too, they are
everywhere every week (especially in the latter stages).
Overall I would call this a boring and very safe set of
appointments!
Very disappointed!!

Agree with Alfie’s comments.boring appointments.theres refs
there that just aren’t needed on the games there doing.eg Pearce
with Ireland Italy back to back years

From an English team point of view, v happy
BoK, Pierre, Big Nika, Nic B and Andy Brace -cannot moan at
those
Otherwise I agree with my learned colleagues - as excited as I
was for the Autumn games I am equally disappointed with these
No reason, IMHO, for any ref to do 2 games and just wonder how
some of those used in the Autumn can build momentum with no
games now till June

More evidence that Luke Pearce seems to be seen as English
number 3 behind Dickson and Carley - I will never understand
what he's done to upset the powers that be!

9 out of 15 games refereed by either an Englishman or a Kiwi,
seems a lot. Add in 2 Oz refs and it does seem really limited
I hope the other refs will be used on RugbyEurope and 'A'
fixtures

Agree. For me he is head and shoulders above the other 2 so I
remain lost for word.

its a real shame that Craig Evans, Chris Busby, Hollie Davidson
& Luc Ramos couldn't be appointed as it might have given them a
boost as one person pointed out towards the next World Cup
I thought Evans busby and Davidson would have been considered
but world rugby haven't got the bottle instead its the usual
selection of dolman gardener Carley etc-a real disappointment!!!
