His Super Rugby whistle is hushed, but Chris Pollock will continue to deliver his rulings in Hawke's Bay. The 43-year-old retired from test rugby after the 2015 World Cup, stopping his CV at 22 internationals, but continued to referee Super Rugby. The people he's met and places he's visited have filled volumes of great memories for Pollock. Pollock has no regrets about his sporting path, nor the transition from the park to the crowd, and hopes something will come of his passion for analysis. During the tournament he refereed USA's test against Scotland and ran touch in Argentina's match against Ireland in Cardiff.
