Referee Wayne Barnes has been reported on X by World Rugby for sharing match footage 🏉
Barnes had been praising Romanian flanker Florian Rosu for shaking his hand after receiving a yellow card, but the video was subsequently removed due to a copyright report by the video owner.
World Rugby has been notably tight on copyright infringement during the World Cup, with YouTuber Squidge Rugby and others reporting similar copyright claims.
RPA general secretary Christian Day said on X: "Wayne Barnes, one of the most high profile refs in World Rugby, has had a clip taken down that he personally appears in and that promoted the kind of values that Rugby Union is so proud of. Confused."

Imagine what could the rugby World be if there was equal treatment?
Chile, Portugal, Georgia, Uruguay, Fiji, Samoa, Namibia... we deserve more.
Stop with the shithousery, come to play with us more

@francisaac87 How big is the "quality" gap between domestic players in Portugal and the foreign based ones? How good is the comp in Portugal compared to D2?
@francisaac87 How to strengthen the European competition in the next 4 years? How can the European Teams "below" Georgia & 6N get siginificantly better?
