Rugby getting too confusing

You see, this is why rugby is so confusing. And infuriating. And simply too difficult to understand for the casual observer.

- Jacques van der Westhuyzen

It's nothing new. The problem is there are just too many laws, too many things that depend on one human's beliefs, thoughts and observations.

I'm of course referring to the decisions that get made in rugby matches.

As hard as World Rugby try to get it right, with strict rules in place about what constitutes foul play, it's not black and white and thus is open to interpretation.

And depending on who you support, you'll either believe the referee and officials got the decision right or you'll say they got it completely wrong.
