Wallabies v Lions - 3rd Test, Accor Stadium, Saturday 2 August

[Major Tom]

I would guess it's more to the point that Stevie Wonder could do a better job as a TMO than Marius Jonker

Don’t forget BOK. He is woeful. I thought the Georgian refs was pretty good.

 

[John S]

It was that dire I'd have taken Jaco Peyper

Very superstitious....

 

[Ignoto]

unsure if this is serious but fairly obvious why he couldn't take part....

Yeah I am fully aware on the why - just completely crap that both Berry and Gus who are arguably in the top 5 of Refs going around can't Ref an Australian game.

I suspect they're trying to deepen the available pool of international refs. Luke Pearce currently head and shoulders above.

This series was a bit like the ashes when all the best umpires were from England or Australia and we got the leftovers. What's happened to the SA refs? And still not sure how BOK got ranked over Williams.

Williams, BOK and Doleman just seem to let the breakdown turn into an absolute farce! Much prefer how Gus, Berry and the Georgian bloke officiate the ruck.
