A South African rugby writer has demanded New Zealand referee Paul Williams be banned from running elite international matches after his handling of Saturday's Test match between the Wallabies and the Springboks.
Writing for The South African, rugby scribe James Richardson said Williams "[brought] the game into disrepute".
"Williams has brought shame onto the game of rugby with one of the worst officiating displays in modern rugby," he said.
The Wallabies beat South Africa 25-17 in Adelaide, with Bok halfback Faf de Klerk shown a yellow card after a seemingly innocuous contact on the face of his opposite number Nic White.
White fell to his knees dramatically after the Bok No 9 had grasped at the ball and ended up brushing his hand against the Australian's mustachioed face.
