I think World Rugby does themselves a disfavour by only picking refs from "top nations". They should be picking refs on quality not passport. If there is one thing this world cup has shown, it is that there is quality players in the lower tiers nations. There is the possibility that there might be a quality ref down there as well, but we will never know.

Has it been perfect? No? Never will be. It's been pretty darn good though.
And my point is that it makes every effort possible to match the best officials with the top games regardless of how many games they have reffed previously. If this was soccer the four QF refs are pretty much eliminated from any chance of reffing further.
What makes you think that they are not picking refs on quality?
