Watching the match, I wish every single sport would adopt the style of the refs in rugby. That ref was strangely polite yet took no s*** from the players. At one point in the match, a player was saying something, the ref responded said thank you, and the play just shut up.
I wish in football/soccer that any yelling to the ref was met with a red card. And the ref could yellow card all the damn bickering and whining you see in a match. Could you imagine if Rugby refs were in football.
Same goes for the NFL. I can't stand how there's a penalty on the play and there's players mauling the ref.
Maybe hockey is one of a few sports where you don't see players whine on every single call.
I also like how the ref is mic'd.
