The Australian Rugby community is mourning the loss of former Test referee Andrew Cole.
“This award honours your distinguished long-term service to the game and refereeing. He had the best view of Dan Carter’s sublime two-try game. “As a bloke, he was second to none. “He was a players’ ref. Cole has been remembered as the calm, respected figure with the whistle in 31 Tests and 44 Super Rugby matches. He had bought eight Wallabies jerseys for family and gone to the extra effort of having the date “July 9, 2022” embroidered on each.
World Rugby has joined the tributes to former referee and match official selector Andrew Cole, who has passed away after battling cancer.
