Has any high-end ref ever been a prop? Australian Wayne Erickson is the last I know of Good enough reason to never let it be tried again. The man hadn’t a fcukin scooby. After the “let’s get the Yaroies” email scandal broke, he was the one ref whose stats involving saffa teams changed dramatically.

Madison especially is borderline unplayable at her best. She’s unstoppable once she gets a metre on the defence. This is bang on. She's tall, fast and strong. If she gets space, no one can catch her. If she's given a one on one opportunity, she'll run over the top of them. She's an amazing athlete....
