Lions snub South African referees


The 2009 British Lions have delivered an astonishing snub to South African referees by demanding neutral officials in every provincial match on their tour next year.

The move has stunned South African rugby officials and effectively will ban four of the world's top eight rugby referees from having any serious role in the tour. To say that feathers have been ruffled within South African rugby circles would be to minimise the issue.
