VIDEO: The referee lost his voice at the worst possible time during Ulster v Ospreys last night

Poor fella

The ref’s bind is a bit loose here.

No referees in sport are more prominent from a vocal point of view than rugby referees, with players, fans and TV viewers all able to hear them exert their authority thanks to the microphone they wear during matches.

Unfortunately for poor Ian Davies, everyone can also hear when their voice lets them down during a match, as it did in a scrum towards the end of Ulster’s victory over Ospreys last night.
