RWC2019 has been marred by inconsistent, erratic and highly questionable referee performances in the tournament’s opening 10 days. This has to some extent ruined RWC2019 as a spectacle.

This has led to calls from fans from all nations for greater transparency in terms of the scrutiny that referees face regarding their performance; professional inquiries regarding highly irregular and lopsided match performances with any inquiries exorcising the power to be far-reaching to understand potential unethical influences; and, finally, we are requesting a public forum for fans to put their questions and concerns to the referees’ panel before the knockout stages.
