The referees for the Rugby World Cup quarter finals have been announced, with the All Blacks missing out on having Wayne Barnes officiate their match.
There’s no doubt New Zealand fans will be stoked.
Of course, when it comes to the appointment of officials, supporters are always happy to have a little gripe.
In this case, however, there can little to be upset about for any of the teams.
The only referees who might consider themselves unlucky to miss out on an appointment are Jaco Peyper, Chris Pollock and Glen Jackson.
