Lions boss treats son Owen Farrell like any other player, says coach
VICTORIA, AUSTRALIA, JUL 25 – Andrea Piardi will referee the pivotal second Test as the Lions aim for their first series win over Australia since 2013, with Piardi overcoming earlier refereeing errors in the season.
- On Saturday, July 26, Andrea Piardi will officiate the second Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, series on the line between British & Irish Lions and Australia.
- Earlier this year, Piardi made key errors in a URC match, mistakenly reducing Munster to 14 men, leading to his drop from subsequent appointments.
- Having debuted in 2019, Piardi has risen through elite ranks and was Italy’s sole representative at the 2023 Rugby World Cup.
- After Piardi’s appointment, Nigel Owens called for refereeing accountability, saying `If a ref clearly gets it wrong and it costs a team, coaches want to see accountability, you drop a player after a poor performance — why not a ref?`
- With the series on the line, Piardi can redeem himself at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, aiming to secure the Lions' first win over Australia since 2013.
