I have to agree. The reputational damage and embarrassment should be enough.

My "Aussie Rugby" story from last weekend: refereed a Third Grade game in the morning on an oval with a turf cricket square in the middle. Absolute muck there, and dead grass everywhere else.
Played most of 2 Grades in the afternoon, on a track that was slightly better (no turf square, green grass mostly). Started at First Grade hooker which I don't think I've done before.
2 throws not straight and back spams from launching the ball over their only jumper to 4, 5, and occasionally 6. Must be roughly 80% hit rate.Needed a Powerade urgently just after halftime as the cramps started to hit my calves. Lesson learned: I'm too old
Tomorrow we just got official word that we're good to go, despite a bit of moisture underfoot. Only light showers between now and kick off so reckon we'll have a bit of fun

@NTA Mate always laughed about 30 years back in the mighty Nua, the main rugby ground had a cricket pitch in middle. and councils answer to it ripping up, put a fine gravel in it, not too many players were keen to go down in middle of park!!:beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:
And love the fact you reffing AND playing, I doff my cap sire!

The news comes as Australia’s credibility as a host nation hangs in the balance. The Herald can reveal that with a little more than two months before the World Rugby Council votes to award hosting rights, RA has not yet secured a federal government funding commitment worth about $120 million.
The governing body has locked in a similar amount in state government funding but is yet to receive a commitment from Canberra. A federal government source indicated the Morrison Government was supportive of the bid but potentially not at the price RA was asking.
$120M to have a knock-on tourism effect of at least twice that. In limbo.
$4B disaster fund established after the fires of 2019 that is basically untouched.
$600M for a gas plant in NSW that could be a stranded asset before construction even begins? Shit yeah!
Priorities.
