REFS TO FACE THE MUSIC

TAPPE HENNING, referee for Saturday’s Super 12 match between the Stormers and the Sharks at Newlands, will attend the after-match press conference with his two touch judges, the Western Province Rugby Football Union said on Wednesday. With more and more referees joining the professional code, players, administrators and the media have asked for referees to be present at the after-match press conferences to explain their decisions. Henning, and his two touch judges Michael Katzenellenbogen and Andy Turner, have agreed to attend, as will Steve Strydom, chairman of the SA Referees Society.
