Bryce Lawrence's test career is over─── 14:16 Wed, 25 Jul 2012
SANZAR head of referees Lyndon Bray has confirmed that New Zealand referee Bryce Lawrence’s Test career is over. Lawrence, who was named New Zealand’s referee of the year in 2011, has been in freefall since taking charge of the Rugby World Cup quarter-final between the Springboks and Wallabies. Lawrence was widely criticised for his handling of the game, which bundled the Springboks out of the World Cup. He was subsequently not given any Six Nations games at the beginning of 2012, with Sanzar refereeing boss Lyndon Bray admitting he needed to be “rehabilitated” following the performance.
