The quality and the speed of top level Championship rugby has improved no end in the past few years - the refs havent caught up, infact they are going backwards -.
And that is because Stuart Cummins is there. The guy was an arrogant plank as a Ref and would never accept criticism. He has not changed now and the number of times Coaches and Players have said publically let alone privately how bad the Match officials are yet the Standards continue to drop. The game has moved on and is getting faster and yet the people running the Sport are destroying it and creating more problems by their inefficiency!
