Weak officiating proved costly for Fiji at the Rugby World Cup Flying Fijians vs Wales Pool C match on Monday.
The whistle man, Mathew Carley, throughout the contest, was weak in his officiating, including his touchline assistants and TMO officials.
Despite the heavy dependence on technology present at the stadium, the Flying Fijians were robbed by the English whistle man, in my opinion.

I know the Flying Fijians will bounce back strongly from the loss, but I sincerely hope the RWC officials will do the same and officiate all matches fairly.
Please, World Rugby, do justice to all participating teams at the World Cup.
