Browned Nuts

Having seen th' World’s greatest disaster at Rugby 

refereeing, we refer here to Jamie Nutbrown, or as 

locals might suggest - satay-sauce-simmered nuts 
well browned - and there's not much left to debate 

altho he is a Canterbury-born lad; yet in preference 
t' assuming charge he makes a TMO arbiter relieve 

him of on-field responsibilities, it takes your breath 

away - why’d HE have to be on the field first place 

Well, that is the way this thing called adjudication 

seems t’ have mutated; its from viral infections of 

secretly funded highly-rated mediation sources in 

league with sponsorship that clearly disagrees its 

only a game -  and this’s a business where profits 

equate t’ much more’n th’ spectators expectation
