The videos are produced by WR. Nigel is of the belief that they would not sanction the videos unless what he was saying was correct.I don't think so
so instead of issuing a formal press release making comment on the contentious issues, WR simply sanction ol' Nige to put on his best wellies and do their dirty work for them?The videos are produced by WR. Nigel is of the belief that they would not sanction the videos unless what he was saying was correct.
Crowley added that he was sick of going through the official World Rugby’s channels around the performances of referees.
It's Nigel doing a Kaplan, except being slightly nicer about it. Given his odd eccentricity, I wouldn't take what he said at face value.given that that video has a World Rugby watermark (notwithstanding the cows and muck spreader in the background), is this an official WR verdict?
I think that must be correct, but I wonder who does the sanctioning, is there like a Laws panel involved in the production of the video ?The videos are produced by WR. Nigel is of the belief that they would not sanction the videos unless what he was saying was correct.
Let's see.Or maybe they just leave him to it, and trust him.
I mean, who knows why they would do something utterly crazy like that?!?
Maybe because he was recently a Tier 1 referee?
Or perhaps because he is head of referee training for the WRU?
Or alternatively because he's already employed as a consultant by one Tier 1 nation (Scotland), and has been asked to be the same by a second (South Africa)?
Your guess is as good as mine.
And Jonathan Kaplan held the world record at one point for the most test matches refereed.
Honestly, you guys.
I guess a whole week passed, and a new round of games happened so KC got away with it. This time!since this is an ongoing issue, might as well get it's own thead.
Crowley the latest to join the party.
Wonder if he'll be deemed to have transgressed anything here, probably since he is very specific about the futility of WR processes?
WATCH: Italy coach Kieran Crowley SLAMS officials after defeat to Wales
Italy head coach Kieran Crowley criticised the performance of the officials following his side's 29-17 home loss to Wales in the Six Nations.www.planetrugby.com
I've got no issue at all with you not liking NO or JK, or what they do, or what they say, or how they say it.Let's see.
Post retirement, Kaplan spent an inordinate amount of time publicly criticizing other referees.
Nigel, for all his Test caps and consulting, is known for law eccentricities and/or contracting outside the law. Heading the ball, according to the law as written, is not a knock on, as much as the declarations of St Nige would like us to believe.
