I've noticed this (super XV) season the AR's are being much less generous with their judgement of territory gained from kicks into touch.

Out of interest has anyone else noticed this? Do you think they have been given a directive?

Every week kickers are giving the AR's dirty looks, at a higher frequency than usual anyway. So they appear to be taking notice.

Not entirely sure I follow - you saying they arent giving lineout where the ball crosses the line? Kickers always give dirty looks - as they will always think (hope?) it's gone further than it really does. Another form of dissent creeping in...
