Dave Rennie publicly slams refereeing in Wales vs AUS clash
- 4026
Rugby Australia are bracing for a backlash from World Rugby after Wallaby head coach Dave Rennie’s post-match comments in the wake of his side’s last-gasp defeat to Wales in Cardiff on Saturday evening.
During his interview, Rennie described some of the officiating during the game as “horrendous”.

Results-wise, it was a poor tour for the Wallabies who managed to post just one victory during the series – against Japan in Round 1.
It remains to be seen what will transpire as a result of Rennie’s comments, but the recent punishment handed down to Springbok boss Rassie Erasmus is indicative of the fact that World Rugby are taking a hard line regarding coaches publicly voicing opinions on referees.
