Cape Town - SANZAR head of referees Lyndon Bray confirmed on Wednesday that New Zealand referee Bryce Lawrence’s Test career is over, according to EWN Sport.

 

Lawrence, who was unbelievably named New Zealand’s referee of the year in 2011, has been in freefall since taking charge of the Rugby World Cup quarter-final between the Springboks and Wallabies, a game where he allowed the Wallabies the freedom of the park as they won despite having little possession.

Lawrence was widely criticised for his handling of the game, which bundled the Springboks out of the World Cup and was subsequently not given any Six Nations games at the beginning of 2012, with Sanzar refereeing boss Lyndon Bray admitting he needed to be “rehabilitated” following the performance.

Shout it from the rooftops!!! Certain people (i.e. poophols) just cannot be rehabilitated...

Send to SA for his retirement...."pappa wag vir jou!!"

That oke is a proper tjop, here's hoping his falls off.

 

Whilst an admission that "die ref het gekroek", the sad thing is it can't change history.

Interstingly, I went to a talk by Tim Noakes yesterday at my son's school...

taht guy is brilliant by the way...

 

anyways, so i ask him about Sharks chances tomorrow...

his reply....

 

"the Sarks will be down by between 10 -15 points before they run onto the field"...based purely on their extensive traveling and the fact that Chiefs could sit at home for the last two weeks"...

 

so for a Sharks win...they need to be better than the Chiefs by 15 points...are they?

 

very inetresting perspective....
