It’s nothing personal, honest
The most important thing to state first of all is that rugby referee Ben Whiteouse is ok

He’s clearly made of good stuff because he not only got done once in tonight’s U20 World Cup semi final between the All-Blacks and France, but suffered two mishaps in the game.
Firstly he was cleaned out trying to keep up with an All-Blacks break that left him looking more dazed and confused than is usual for most rugby referees

That would have been bad enough if it wasn’t for then getting in the way of a stray pass and taking a rugby ball full force on his nose
In your face! Ref @BenRefWhitey is floored for the second time today thanks to funny ‘falcon’. #WorldRugbyU20shttp://t.co/KG2sX220SF

The All-Blacks won the game by 45 points to 7 but next time try and stay out of the way.
