All year, I've seen South African dedicated Assistant Referees, who soley AR for games. I think this is a poor decision, as AR's who actually have refereed professionally can work out the scrums and their issues. Last nights Semi's were examples, where AR's were about 5 metres away but they didn't have a clue. Also we had an example of Ruben Russouw coming onto the field to report a high tackle that was obviously not high. They really need to get a feel for the game.
Deadset, this should be scratched.
