Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Ko Mark Halsey, te kaitautoko rongonui o mua i ngaro i tana mahi hei kaitirotiro BT Sport i muri i te hingatanga o te Pirimia Pirimia, kua tonoa kia korero ki tetahi hononga kaitautoko a rohe i tangohia i muri i te whakauru mai i te taumata teitei. Ko Halsey te korero ki te Sheffield Referee Association me pehea tana wikitoria i te mate pukupuku kia noho tonu hei kaiwhakawa matua. Engari na te whakahē a tētahi tangata whutupaoro kore ingoa i akiaki te National Referees Association ki te akiaki i to rātau peka o Sheffield ki te whakakore i te putanga o Halsey, nāna i tuku i ana ratonga kore utu. Ko te īmēra mai i Laura Ritchie, te tumuaki o te RA, i pānuihia: <unk> Kua kawea mai e te mema matua o te ao whutupaoro ki a maatau kua tono koe ki a Mark Halsey hei kaikorero manuhiri.

A ko te whakautu a Sheffield ki te RA i kii: "Kaore e taea te whakahawea ki to maatau riri mo te whakanoho ki tenei tuunga. E mea ana mātau, i te mea he kaiwhakawa mātau, kei runga ake i te whakahe?<unk> Ko te tumuaki o te FA ko David Elleray te tumuaki o te RA engari i te po o te Mane i whakakahoretia e ia tetahi mahi. Heoi anō, ko ngā tirohanga kaha a Halsey mō te hekenga o ngā paerewa whakawātea, i ahu mai i te riri whānui e pā ana ki a rātou mahi i tēnei tau. I urupare a BBC rugby co-commentator Brian Moore ki tana whakaaro <unk>snub<unk> i te mea ko ia tetahi o nga kaitohutohu pouaka whakaata torutoru kaore i whakauruhia ki roto i te roopu Ipu o te Ao nui a ITV ma te tweeting <unk>I <unk>ve been told I<unk>m too controversial for TV World Cup coverage.
