If Wales do go on to win a grand slam an extra medal will need to be ordered. ‘To Pascal Gaüzère, the world’s greatest referee!’ Step aside Nigel Owens, Welsh rugby has a new whistling hero to celebrate. In Wales, though, there will always be a welcome in the hillsides for Monsieur Gaüzère. Before the second half had begun someone had doctored the French official’s Wikipedia page to suggest he hailed from Wales. Next stop for Wales is Rome where 17 Italians, on recent form, would probably be insufficient to deliver a home win.
