That’s ‘Assistant’ refs…

Whilst on this subject it’s time for Paddy O Brien to be shown the gangplank off the gravy train… he’s added zero in his tenure… and has given zero input after this RWC… new blood needed at the top… give him his golden handshake and the boot!

@wallabie.(wallabie.)-68:

One would think only for the end of that move… but it’s going to be a bit suss if there’s a 20 plus phase move…

Expect to see far more chirping too… which I cannot stand… albeit do see the captain’s frustration when ref’s are getting it so wrong…

I’d like to see an extra 5mins at half-time where both captains have a quick chat with the ref, the ***.refs actually doing their job properly and the TMO use sparingly for a referral or two… nothing more…

@Puma(Puma)-67: Agreed...but how far does a captain be allowed to go back and for what incidents can he refer?

Very good idea. Should have been implemented in the past wc.

Captains should have 3 referrals.

@wallabie.(wallabie.)-61: South Africans have used the technology illegally already. To them its a great idea until they realise that infact SA kill the ball and cheat just as much as any other team.

@Gunther(gunther)-60: "an insatiable need to fill his tupperware at every opportunity." .... what on earth is that a euphemism for?

@>^..^< katman(katman)-59: apparently he has found a part in the film they are making about Dolly. He plays a malcontent SACOS activist with a love of free t shirts and an insatiable need to fill his tupperware at every opportunity. he is also doubling as the boundary rope in some of the cricket scenes.

@Gunther(gunther)-58: I thought he already had a job. Isn't he a bouncer at His People Church in N1 City?

@Gunther(gunther)-52: I can see the touch judge running onto the field with a kit bag. Predictably the whole of Loftus will cheer and whistle as the ref changes his adult diaper.

@Gunther(gunther)-51: Perhaps, but they can be a bit daunting for the average TBC (trans-boerewors curtain) dweller. Last week a Belville resident spent 36 hours trying to exit one and only got out when he ploughed through a vibracrete wall after cramping up from the marathon right turn. Imagine your little nativity scene having to deal with that.

@>^..^< katman(katman)-50: zigactly, but even better than that there will be no warning at all. one minute he will be watching contedly as Pocock plays twister all over a ruck or blowing Danie Roussouw up for looking funny at Vickerman and the next he will be a slobbering incoherent palsy thrashing all over the turf. Destined to spend the rest of his days in the Allan Boesak Home for the Elderly in Mitchell's Plain watching endless replays of the 95 world cup final. I smell a Nobel.

@>^..^< katman(katman)-47: roundabouts are Britain's greatest contribution to cilvilisation. especially in south africa where the traffic lights never work because Capo has stoeln all the wire to feed his virulent tik habit. In provence they are a source of pride and each village goes to great length to landscape theirs in a beautiful and unique way. sometimes over christmas they will have a moving nativity tableau of the three wise men and the Baby Gunther.
