the world's best referee.

It would be good to have Wilkinson there if he's at his best,

If he doesn't respect me he should at least respect the position (of match referee), but he made matters worse for himself with his dismissive and rude attitude.

I only heard last night that it (a citing) might happen and it was confirmed this morning,

I saw the same tapes that the citing commission would have seen and to me there was plenty of evidence,
