    @stodders I should add that I don't direct this at the Bok supporters on here, who have been very restrained and respectful in their celebrations 🙂

    They're the only ones in the world that I've seen

    Yes, I am bitter that I would now rather mow lawns on a Saturday than watch rugby - union).

    Get involved in your local grassroots club, if you're not already.

    It's more fun that the professional stuff

    My bro in law had the same thing. Pretty nerve wracking, but the procedure he had generally sorts the problem out

    Weird anecdote related to circulatory things: a looooong time ago, my son was in the special care neonatal ward with another kid born about 6 weeks prem.

    At one point this kid's heart started racing crazy fast, and they got the Doc on the phone, who told the nurse: "put your thumbs over his eyeballs and press down gently".

    Almost instantly settled it back down to normal.

    Nice that he would allow a serious medical event to potentially affect his performance and by extension the result of the games he was reffing

    "I limited my running as much as possible for the rest of the first half, which both teams made easier for me by giving loads of penalties away, but I knew I had to tell my fellow referees during the break."

    Um, don't think he should have been there.

    That quote is spoken by a guy who thinks rugby games exist purely for the benefit of the ref

    Or the more accurate version I think:
    ""I limited my running as much as possible for the rest of the first half by blowing everything up as a penalty ".

    Narcissistic self indulgence at its most conceited.

    He is a disgrace. You can train all your life as a player and climb the greasy pole of professional sport only to have your dream of winning the pinnacle of the sport, the RWC final, dashed, by a sub standard performance dished out by a man unfit for the task at hand serving only to sprinkle some icing on his televised vanity project.

    A Richard Cranium of the highest order.

    Good riddance to that absolute bellend.

    The fact that refs are even writing books tells you all you need to know about the state the game is in.

    Put his own career interests first, while in full knowledge that his abilities were compromised.

    He disrespected every player, fan and nation he adjudicated over.

    A selfish pig.

    Yep. Poor decision to ref that game and backed up by another poor decision to write about it.
