They def need something to shout about in SA the situation there is sounding dire, approaching on failed state territory if they can't turn it around with the grid.

That's a bit of a reach mate. It doesn't say that at all.

It mentions abuse in general and allegations of death threats, but doesn't attribute his retirement to either. It's more the time away from family.

Didn't expect that.
Sorry to hear it. There isn't another ref on the world stage who comes anywhere near WBs stature IMO
Not since Nigel anyway.
(Admittedly, Nigel is much funnier).

I didn't know until today's articles that he is also a Barrister. I have no idea how people find the time to have what must be close to two full time jobs (refereeing by time you include training, travel, matches, fitness etc)

Barnes is a much better referee than Owens. And far less narcissistic.
