A furious Wallabies legend has unleashed a scathing attack on match officials following a controversial decision during a high-stakes rugby clash, accusing them of weakness and inconsistency.
The explosive outburst comes after a contentious refereeing call that many believe cost Australia dearly in their latest fixture. The former star didn't hold back, labelling the officials' performance as 'unacceptable' at international level.
'Pathetic Officiating' Claims Dominate Post-Match Debate
Speaking to reporters after the match, the enraged former player fumed: 'This is exactly why rugby is losing fans. When weak referees make game-changing decisions without proper justification, it destroys the integrity of the sport.'
The controversy has sparked heated debate across the rugby world, with pundits divided on whether the call was justified or another example of inconsistent officiating plaguing the modern game.
British Media Accused of Pro-Diving Narrative
Adding fuel to the fire, the Wallabies icon took aim at British media outlets, accusing them of pushing a false narrative that Australian players were diving to win penalties. 'It's disgraceful journalism,' the former international said. 'They're trying to rewrite what everyone saw with their own eyes.'
The war of words looks set to continue as rugby's governing body faces mounting pressure to address growing concerns about refereeing standards in international matches.
