South African referee Jaco Pepper is expected to be the main referee for the opening match of the 2023 World Cup: France – New Zealand. A speaking option.
In less than a month, on September 8, France will open the 2023 Rugby World Cup with a match at Stade de France against New Zealand. The dream poster that Jacko Bieber shall rule, according to The Telegraph. This official represents a very bad memory for the Blues since the South African refereed the 2019 World Cup quarter-final between France and Wales.
A match he lost on the 15th wire to France after Sebastien Vahamahaina was disqualified for a caution. After the meeting, Jaco Bieber also took a picture with the Welsh supporters imitating the Frenchman’s blow. An image that caused so much talk in France and thus remains controversial today when South Africa should be in for the long-awaited France-New Zealand whistle.
