Refereeing decisions

I think the best way to provide public feedback on ref decisions is something like Nigel Owens' Whistle Watch - somewhat removed from the match broadcast, and someone's who's independent of the actual ref or ref association. They got themselves into trouble with reviewing the non-decision in the Springbok-Wallaby game by chasing the clicks with "WERE THE WALLABIES ROBBED?!" headlines - that was a mistake. The actual review by Owens was pretty sensible.

Pushing refs into press conferences would be very unwise.
