Andrea Piardi, the Italian referee at the centre of the sub storm involving Munster last month, has been selected to referee one of this summer’s three British & Irish Lions Test clashes in Australia.
And World Rugby have confirmed they will speak closely with both the Lions and Australians ahead of the series as the sport seeks to avoid the global storm surrounding refs that tarnished the 2021 series.
