British and Irish Lions coach Warren Gatland is not happy to have a finger pointed at him by World Rugby for the ongoing match official saga. The governing body not only charged SA director of rugby Rassie Erasmus for his video last week, but also verbally censured the Lions mentor. British and Irish Lions coach Warren Gatland said he was disappointed by how World Rugby has painted him as one of the offending parties in the Rassie Erasmus video kerfuffle. "The only thing I'm disappointed with in World Rugby's statement is that they've inadvertently dragged us in," Gatland said. We just need to concentrate on the rugby and let the referee make the decisions," Gatland said.
