Rasta Rasivhenge is the second South African Super Rugby referee to come under scrutiny by overseas opposition in recent weeks.
Egon Seconds was blasted by the Waratahs after their match against the Lions and now Rashivenge has been criticised for his 12-3 penalty count in favour of the Lions against the Highlanders last weekend.
After losing the match 38-29, Highlanders coach Aaron Mauger tells Stuff NZ: “When you look at our process, we preview the game, we review the game and we take the learnings, so I’m sure when the referee looks back on his performance there’ll be some things he’ll need to tidy up.
“They [Sanzaar] need to go through that process with the referees, and just like we hold ourselves and our players accountable, I’m sure there’ll be a few questions around that performance.”
