Gatland fuming‚ but new Boks-Lions TMO Jonker says ‘it’s just another game’

British & Irish Lions coach Warren Gatland during a training session at Hermanus High School on July 20 2021.“It’s just another game‚” television match official Marius Jonker said about the brouhaha over his appointment to Saturday’s opening Test between the Springboks and the British & Irish Lions at Cape Town Stadium.

Gatland’s displeasure stems from the fact that no neutral alternative was available for such a high-profile clash.“I’m not going to put my reputation and what I’ve built in jeopardy‚” Jonker told TimesLIVE. “I will sit in the box and watch the game and not enjoy it at all. I’m there to do a job. The other match officials are all neutral. Nic Berry of Australia‚ who will referee the match‚ will be flanked by Ben O’Keefe of New Zealand and Mathieu Raynal of France.

Yes Marius, another game where you can ignore SA infringements & disallow perfectly good opposition tries. We haven't forgetten your shit show with Gauzere in the 6 Nations 🤣
