    Brendon Pickerell retires -
    After 151 first-class matches, including 10 Test matches, 60 Super Rugby matches, and 58 NPC matches, Brendon Pickerill has made the tough decision to hang up his whistle.

    Known for his consistency, proficiency, and calm nature on the pitch, and his professionalism and passion for the game off of the pitch, we wish Brendon well on his next adventure. Ngā mihi nui, you’ll always be part of the NZR whānau 🖤

          I had noticed that Pickerill was listed as a BOP ref when NZR released their referee list earlier in the year. So retired to the beach...

                  Pickerill could be about to work for WR.

                    An article about the future of the super round. Not mentioned in the article, but I think Tokyo could be a good location.

                      @Duluth Tokyo would be good, think you would get crowds...but i also think we should be giving Japan a sniff of a super rugby team or entry into the RC

                          Don't ever rejoice when a good ref retires. Bloody hard to find them , and I hope he enjoys next step.

                              I think that Japan may work, but Tokyo itself would get saturated with that many games IMO.

                              I would say that three games in Tokyo, two in Kansai (Osaka), and 1 in Fukuoka would probably work OK.

                              If I were in charge, I'd have two games in Tokyo, two in Hong Kong, and two elsewhere (Singapore? Korea? US?).

                                don't think that was ever set up to succeed, maybe have the current champion of their domestic league play super rugby or something

                                fans celebrating are more likely to rock up the next season to see team they dont see every year

                                  Ok didn't realise you were on a panel that had enough knowledge to judge refs. my apologies I not up to that standard of marking refs.
                                  Imagine all the experts that made him an international ref when there were some who knew better.

                                      Rejoice.

                                      Don't ever rejoice when a good ref retires. Bloody hard to find them , and I hope he enjoys next step.

                                      Does this retirement mean Mr. Bredin moves up one step in the pecking order? :astonished_face:

                                      Fuck noooooo

                                        @Duluth Tokyo would be good, think you would get crowds...but i also think we should be giving Japan a sniff of a super rugby team or entry into the RC

                                        We gave them a SR team but they couldn't make it work....

                                        don't think that was ever set up to succeed, maybe have the current champion of their domestic league play super rugby or something

                                        fans celebrating are more likely to rock up the next season to see team they dont see every year

                                        I tend to agree about the Japanese champion idea. Clearly the Sunwolves didn't strike the right chord

                                          Who is Mr Bredin. I assume if he does move up it will because he next best? Not sure he comes to my mind anyway. Lol mind you that neans nothing.
