Stop Jerome Garces, give us Nigel Owens.

The Issue

This petition serves to stop rugby referee, Jerome Garces, from refereeing the rugby world cup semi-final match between South Africa and Wales, but rather have Nigel Owens.
This petition has surfaced after the shocking moment that Garces was announced to be in charge of a South African game.
Garces has refereed 14 games for the South African springboks and in those last 10 games in charge, South Africa have only won 1 game.
More recently in South Africa’s opening game against New Zealand, Garces officiated horrendously in which he made several wrong calls - which can all be seen on video on youtube, where Garces’ top skills are seen in action - and looked the other way numerous times in moments of foul play.
There is clearly bias present and for South Africa to have a fair chance at competing for the Rugby World Cup title, there must be no bias - just old fashioned rugby. Support for the Springboks is support for South Africa
