Very refreshing earlier to see the ref apologise repeatedly to the SA captain for some bolshiness on the refs part. Couldn't say sorry enough. Fair play.
There does seem to be a better communication in rugby officiating than football. Reminds me of my old football days when you could have banter with them. Towards the end of my 'football career' the officials became less approachable and it appeared to be a them and us scenario.

When I referee football, I try to bring the rugby style into it. I like to think it is appreciated, but it is hard to be sure.

As someone who played a long time it's always appreciated. In football I was never easy to referee (win at all costs attitude which was totally different to my cricket and squash matches). The only ones that I ever remember are the ones that talk to you properly.
