We will know soon then which referees are being kept and which

and Oliver

Decent game for Barton too… he could go far in this tournament.
Ghorbal with a dead rubber… this could have gone to one of the
support officials in all honesty… would have been nice to see
the NZ official pick that up.

Yes and with 41 officials getting a first appointment but only
72 group games, at least 10 of those 41 won't get a 2nd group
game. For some, I suspect that'll be their tournament done. For
others, we'll see them again in the knockouts.

Likely to be true, unless they’re intending to use the new next
stage as planned for some second games so most get two. Never
quite get the idea of planning to only give some people one game
- performances naturally result in it, but all the endless
courses, tests, prep just to only ever be given one games seems
bit pointless. Also now starting to seem odd leaving just a few
with no game at all - eg Schärer and Campbell-Waugh - when poor
performances like Ghorbal get a second game (albeit a dead
rubber). Seems very unfair to OFC if their one ref doesn’t even
get one game, if they’re giving most at least one.

Katia Garcia is 33 and made her debut in Mexico’s Men’s First
Division in 2024, and is already refereeing a World Cup game.
A meteoric rise and I hope it goes well for her. What a
fantastic moment it’ll be.

Strange that Oliver gets 2 all European games. No surprise with
Taylor, letexier and elfath with a lot riding on their games.
Would expect all 4 to be in with a shout of SF/final nation
dependant
