Meet Bryce Lawrence
High Performance Referee High Performing Leader
Most people are keen to make 100,000 in one day...... but when the 100,000 are people, baying for your blood, wishing you harm and demanding your career is over, it's a whole new story....
The RWC quarter final between Australia and South Africa was a big match, the biggest moment in my ten-year professional refereeing career, and it didn't go well. I struggled to deal with external interference, self-doubt crept in, and I failed to produce an authentic refereeing performance. South Africa lost, blamed me (the ref), and overnight, I had over 100,000 South Africans joining a Facebook group demanding "Bryce Lawrence is sacked", with many threatening violence and harm.
