'Triple threat' Donaldson leads Force to massive win over Drua to keep Super Rugby finals hopes alive
The Western Force have reinstated HBF Park as an imposing venue for visiting sides, running in six tries on the way to a 48-10…
After watching the Hong Kong Test and reflecting on the performance of referee Lewis, I wonder whether he actually enjoyed the experience. His grim demeanour and almost hostile dialogue with the players suggested someone not very comfortable in his own skin.
Conversely, a referee like Lyndon Bray maintains a steady hand on the players, and obviously enjoys the quality of play he has the pleasure of witnessing first hand.
I feel sure the players appreciate referees who provide an impartial, less stressed, and situationally aware performance.
The grim reapers only seem to polarise players and spectators alike.
