If you thought NIGEL OWENS was bad on Saturday, just think how bad this guy must have been. <_<

Poor jokes aside, obviously it's a terrible terrible incident - can't recall this happening anywhere else (though the article refers to a previous incident).

here Van Zyl was confronted by two angry spectators, apparently brothers and apparently not members of the Tuine club. One of the pair asked Van Zyl why he had refereed so badly (kak) and immediately hit the referee.
Van Zyl struggled to remain conscious and opened his car door to get to his cellphone, whereupon his attacker kicked at the door so that Van Zyl was pinned between the door and the car. The referee and his assistant fought to defend themselves when one of the pair, apparently not the first aggressor, hit the referee on the head with a crash helmet. When other spectators rushed to the referees' assistance, the assailants ran away.
