in the NFL it's not the same as in rugby (don't know cricket), the way it's done in the NFL is very similar to what they trialled at the World Cup in ANZ, where the referee explains the decision afterwards.

rugby on the other hand broadcasts the whole interaction between referee and VAR

Rugby broadcasts so much of what the referee says and it's honestly great for the sport. Shows how players and refs should interact, gives a model for all levels of the sport.

But it's all performative, they know and act like they're talking live on tv.

I kinda prefer the unvarnished chaos we get to hear with VAR.

Also what's being said is pretty much what you expect to hear.

Which is fine. They are operating to a standard and if they don't do so it becomes obvious live on TV.
