Rassie summoned to a misconduct hearing.
So instead of acknowledging his valid points and improving the standard of refereeing, World Rugby has decided to act like a third world dictatorship and punish any cricism. I would say unbelievable, but unfortunately our once great sport has history of such.
He may have had valid points but there are the correct channels to go down. It was not juts a counter punch but an all out attack on the officials. One hour of moaning..........he deserves any punishment that comes his way in my opinion.
There is a chance to jump on this now - a 6 month ban plus a reffing course and reffing junior games? Of course they won't do anything, just wave their hands.

The whole situation stinks. Rassie shouldn’t be on the pitch during games and in this country you can imagine what would have happened to Richard Cockerill if he’d had a rant like he did!
Rassie is a disgrace to the game and should be banned immediately.
There also needs to be consistency at international matches with regard to the safety measures being implemented in the Premiership.
Tackle low and hard: no problem!

As if this situation couldn't get worse, Marco Masotti (of private equity money and new owner of the Sharks) is threatening to "bring his army of New York lawyers to take care of Rassie and SA rugby" as well as "putting World Rugby on trial"

Maybe there's a technicality with Nienebar being head coach and he's exploiting it
