so right daibok, it is almost as if they want to court controversy.
We get it in the Pro 12, with home teams getting a full set of home officials.
Over here, the cost of the travel is negilible.

I still dont understand why they dont have neutral refs. They have a Saffa in Wellington for a derby - why not a Kiwi? A Kiwi in Canberra for an OZ/NZ game and a Kiwi in Christchurch for an Oz/NZ game then a Saffa in Capetown. Why? So that the biased accusations can fly where one team has a same country ref?
It would be simple to avoid all that.
