Referees to 20 November 2011
The Heineken Cup got off to a thrilling start. Any more of what happened in Limerick, Glasgow, Paris, Reading, Montpellier, Belfast and Gloucester and the sale of tranquillisers will soar. Any more of that will, in fact, bring the fans racing in and will bring out the best in the referees. It is one of a referee’s best experiences to lose himself in a thrilling, knife-edge finish.
