It's nothing personal, honest
The most important thing to state first of all is that rugby referee Ben Whiteouse is ok https://twitter.com/BenRefWhitey/status/610517999561383936 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 https://twitter.com/btsportrugby/status/610500242841055232 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.
