Cape Town - An independent arbitrator has been called on to settle a dispute between SA Rugby referees boss Andre Watson and members of his association.
The South African Rugby Referees Association (SARRA) confirmed on its official website that some of its members are at loggerheads with Watson, and this has now come to a head at a meeting with an independent arbitrator.
The result is that there was a hearing on Thursday and Friday of last week involving the arbitrator and members of the SARRA, including Watson and other members of the SARRA's staff and panel referees.
