Video - 'Squeaky and emotional' - Kaplan takes serious swing at O'Driscoll captaincy
By Online Editors
Former international referee Jonathan Kaplan has taken a serious pot shot at Ireland legend Brian O'Driscoll on a South African podcast.
Kaplan was asked about captaincy styles on 'The Late Tackle' podcast and he didn't hesitate in naming O'Driscoll as a player whose manner of addressing the referee (in his eyes at least) was 'pretty average' (the question is asked 3 minutes in).
The South African also gave his view on the controversy surrounding Television Match Officials (TMOs) in the modern game.
Howie Kahn, Morgan Newman and Anton van Zyl look back at the opening round of Super Rugby before bringing Kaplan in to speak about his love for running marathons and what changes should be made to the current state of TMOs.
They then look to Round Two, with the New Zealand and Australian teams playing their first matches and size up what is sure to be an interesting penultimate round of Six Nations action.

Yeah nah he comes across as a funny bloke, but that stopped abruptly after the Nutcracker Prince debacle✋
Go to commentsAt this point I can’t watch him without thinking he’s a dirty slimebag. He should have been banned for the same amount of time that Quinn was out. It took Tupaea near on a fricking year to get fit enough to play again and his leg will never be the same. The other crap thing is that he was at ABs level and now he has to claw his way back there when he could have had several games under his belt.
