Paddy O’Brien speaks

An interesting interview from the IRB Media team and Total Rugby with IRB Referee’s Chief, Paddy O’Brien. He discusses the RWC 2011, thoughts on changing the law on rucks, scrummaging and on refereeing pathways from non-European and SANZAR countries.

Interesting that he thinks 2 of the RWC games weren’t reffed properly.
