Wayne Barnes on making history, dealing with critics and his ambitions as a referee

As he approaches his 100th Test cap, and looks ahead to becoming the most capped international referee of all time, Wayne Barnes joins Lawrence Dallaglio, Sarra Elgan and Steve Cording to chat about his rugby career, including the best and worst aspects of being a ref, what he learnt from training with the Marines and his memories of refereeing his first Premiership Final – a game that also happened to be Lawrence’s last appearance for Wasps. The team also review the weekend’s results, choose their Outstanding players from the action and make some predictions for Round 9 of the Premiership. Plus Wayne is ‘Tackled’ by Lawrence, as we discover the nickname given to him at university and who he thinks is the greatest rugby player of all time.  Hosted on Acast.
