Taking on the challenges off the field Craig Joubert opens up on how World Rugby are working with Signify to combat online abuse

@signify Wondered where he’d gone after his 2015 sprint off the pitch after the Scotland v Oz QF ……

@signify Great campaign by WR and Craig Joubert!! I wish that WR would simplify the laws and make the game less complicated and confusing for the supporters. This would reduce the immense pressure the refs are under and minimise the frustration of the fans

@signify Speaks v well & a lot of sense, pretty poor intl ref but maybe he found his calling in administration, hope so!

@signify Most of these keyboard warriors have never played the game, just putting threats and abuse out there because they are sad little people, if it was not for these referees, where would we be, they all make mistakes, but fuck me have a look how many mistakes the players make, 😞

@signify Good

@signify 2023 WORLD RUGBY CUP. WORST EVER. AMAZING CHEATING BY OFFICIALS MEANT THAT THE GAME WAS TURNED INTO A FARCE. Indicated that MONEY WAS INVOLVED. Very Sorry for FRENCH RUGBY where these inept and incompetent twats destroyed the FINAL!

@signify Excellent interview with Craig Joubert discussing the unwarranted abuse that referees get, mostly from anonymous keyboard warriors who wouldn't dare speak face to face with their targets.

@signify Threats of violence sure. But World Rugby should be aware that much beyond will be seen as an effort to curb free speech - ironically in democracies where it’s protected. That will NOT go down well with fans esp after WR tried to police the internet when it came to RWC footage!

@signify Well, he has never been up to Nigel Owens or Waynes Barnes's standard, that's for sure.

@signify There is the real rugby fan.. and then there are ppl that act like they love rugby.. real rugby fans understand that rugby is like life.. u going to have ups and downs.. it’s how u get up that matters. Most ppl don’t know how to get up and try again.
