[QUOTE="Die Bokke, post: 1051167, member: 54659"] Taken from the article below. In the now-infamous ‘Teach the Japies [South Africans] a lesson’ saga, New Zealand Manager of Refereeing Development Keith Lawrence was forced to apologise to South African counterpart Freek Burger over derogatory remarks made about Burger. An e-mail had been sent to arrange a conference call between the three Super 12 referee managers, but it contained earlier dialogue – not intended for South Africa – which had taken place between Lawrence and his Australian counterpart. Keith Lawrence is the father of Bryce Lawrence – infamous for his error-riddled performance in the quarterfinal at the 2011 World Cup match between South Africa and Australia. The Wallabies won 11-9 in one of the most contentious matches in World Cup history, resulting in Lawrence getting death threats. Some fans were quick to reproduce the ‘Teach the Japies a lesson’ articles from back in 2000. Relationships between the former SANZAR (South Africa, New Zealand and Australia) partners have remained strained ever since and there is a school of thought that it reflects in refereeing performances against the Springboks.
