Recently retired South African referee Jaco Peyper is aiming to build a culture of respect towards referees in the Springboks and SA Rugby.
The former Test referee admitted that referees linking up with teams wasn’t something new and that it would become more prevalent as the game evolves.
“The coaching staff asked me what they can fix and I said we have to build respect around refereeing in this country, and not just in the team. “It isn’t something new. Andy Brace and Frank Murphy go to Ireland training in camp. Wayne Barnes and Luke Pearce will have gone to England training. Ben O’Keefe is at the moment in the New Zealand camp,” said Peyper.
