Rugby: Controversial Piardi will ref Springboks’ clash with Pumas at Twickenham

# Rugby: Saturday’s Rugby Championship Test between South Africa and Argentina in London will be refereed by Italian Andrea Piardi, who is accused of doing the Wallabies in on two recent occasions. He handled the second Test against the British and Irish Lions and allowed a controversial Lions’ try in the dying moments that clinched the series. Piardi also handled the whistle in last weekend’s match against the All Blacks, whereafter many Australian fans, international pundits and even players pointed out inconsistencies in his decisions.
