Now, I have seen everything...!! I know I have been absent from writing on my blog for months now due to personal reasons, but this woke me up again and I had to write something regarding this farce...
Bryce Lawrence, the referee that made the most errors while handling a Test Match in the entire history of the game of Rugby, won Referee of the Year for the 4th time in New Zealand.

I know this topic is getting old for some, but I think they were just trying to rub the salt even deeper into our South African wounds with this "Joke of an Award", because if they were serious with this award, there cannot be many good referees in NZ. Alternatively, it then has to be a huge slap in the face of all the other referees in NZ...? What is going on here?
What a disgrace to Rugby and that they think we, the general rugby supporting public is stupid, is even worse...

Read this plonker's blog entry regarding Bryce's award and see what he has to say - another idiot from the UK, but I think he only wanted some response, because if you know only a little bit about rugby, you have to agree that Mr Lawrence has a huge problem...!
The problem is that if you are South African and you complain too much about it, all the supporters from other countries will call us 'Bad Losers', but that is definitely NOT the case with me. If Bryce Lawrence handled the game that day in exactly the same manner, but it was for example Aus vs Eng, I would still have said that he sided with the one team and that it was the worst performance by a referee that I have ever witnessed...!
It has nothing to do with the fact that my team lost on the day - I am over that and I accept the loss, but that a complete idiot of a referee like Lawrence gets away with that performance, and then still receives an award at the end of the day is what 'Grinds MY Gears'...!
What a disgrace to Rugby and that they think we, the general rugby supporting public is stupid, is even worse...
