New Zealand referee Steve "look at me" Walsh has, allegedly, been ruled out of the first round of the Super 14 as punishment for turning up drunk at a SANZAR conference last year.
And the good news is that English referee Wayne Barnes, who seemed to have fallen out with the iRB, has been promoted from his number one assistant refereeing duties to referee.
The Kiwi bad boy of officiating just can't seem to keep out of trouble and, if reports are true that he does have a drink problem, I hope Walsh gets himself sorted out. There's no doubt that he is a good referee, but he hits the spotlight for all the wrong reasons.
Here's hoping he learns a lesson.
