Sydney - Australian Rugby Union chief John O'Neill is planning to send a formal complaint to the International Rugby Board referee's chief, Paddy O'Brien, over the performance of Irish referee Alan Lewis during the Hong Kong Bledisloe Cup Test.

Lewis has been widely criticised for his refereeing, including missing a forward pass that resulted in the All Blacks' winning try and continuously penalising the Wallabies at the scrum and breakdown. O'Neill, who is with the Wallabies to Italy, was one of thousands of Australians in Hong Kong dismayed by Lewis's performance.
