Wayne Barnes: 'The final was a wonderful way to finish my career'

Newsday

Available for over a year

Wayne Barnes is one of the most decorated referees in rugby history. He's taken charge of 111 test matches and worked at five World Cups. Wayne's last match was the World Cup Final a few weeks ago as South Africa beat New Zealand 12-11 in Paris. It ended up being his most challenging as he became the first referee to give a player a red card in a men's World Cup final. Wayne popped into the Newsday studio to talk about what it's like to be a referee and his career. (Photo: Referee Wayne Barnes officiating a game. Credit: Getty Images)
