The 42 reporting that Busby is to make a shock announcement that he’s retiring from refereeing in the near future. He’s due to be an AR in two 6N matches, however it is thought that he now won’t.

Fans players and coaches need to be careful in their criticism of refs, and abstain from making any suggestions of bias or favouritism.

However incompetent, bias is another matter.

Hanson was clearly frustrated, but is a a professional , and consequently should observe professional standards .

Of course disgracefully, the Irish wouldn't want h m to miss a single 6N game, abd therefore would perform backward somersaults to prevent this from happening.
