Vinny Munro: Former international rugby referee on where the officiating went wrong in the Rugby World Cup final

Did the officiating and all the rules ruin rugby’s big showpiece? The match officiating was under hefty scrutiny in the All Blacks’ 12-11 loss to the Springboks in Paris, with referee Wayne Barnes heavily relying on the TMO throughout. The game saw three yellows and one red card, as well as questions over Springboks captain Siya Kolisi’s yellow not being upgraded to a red like Sam Cane’s for a similar challenge, as well as Aaron Smith’s disallowed try. Former international rugby referee Vinny Munro joined Mike Hosking. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
