OITA, Japan: World Cup referee Jaco Peyper has sparked anger after posing for a photo with Wales fans in which he appeared to mimic the elbow that led to Sebastien Vahaamahina's quarter-final red card.
There were howls of protests from Twitter users slamming Peyper's judgement, with several calling it"shameful","disturbing" or"stupid" -- and calling for the 39-year-old to be stood down for the rest of the World Cup or even sanctioned. France boss Jacques Brunel admitted his player deserved to walk after his loss of discipline after what was his last game in charge of Les Bleus.
