What the hell do people want? He did a **** job and no doubt he knows it.

If anything, the IRB must make a list of things he needs to improve on and send him back to club rugby to work on them. Hopefully this fixes all his issues by the next super15 season.

At the end of the day he was appointed to this game and gave it his best shot. Nothing more can be said about Bryce.

IF, we didn't have dumb and **** rules in place that stop referees from reffing their own country, either Craig Joubert or Kaplan could have been reffing this game. But unfornately the same dickheads who join facebook groups abusing Bryce also oppose referees reffing their own country. So we are stuck in a lose-lose situation. WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANT. They have an irraitonal hate for referees and want to make sure they can abuse refs regardless of the result.

/drunken rant. Don't take me too seriously.

On the other hand. Watson raises some good points, and some bad ones. He is right to criticize Bryce for not penalizing enough. But to say he should be "punished" and "never ref a world cup game again" is out of line and simply wrong. What do the SA Referee's association have to do with this anyway? Nothing... So they should be a bit more careful with the stuff they are putting out.
