85% sure they do actually rotate refs every x matches, I haven't actually specifically looked at it this year, however in years past they have absolutely rotated refs. I mean the refs are tested pretty hard, and I can understand a head ref not wanting to swap his refs around from the pattern they are used to because a team asked them to. I don't imagine a swap could have done much, but then again I wasn't at the event.
I can't really comment on anything else there.
