A rugby player has been arrested in Australia and faces a life ban after he was charged with assaulting a referee during an under-19s grand final.
Maitland Blacks flanker Mark Meafua, 18, allegedly lashed out at referee Niklas Gaal, 19, striking him on the jaw during Saturday's match against the Newcastle Wanderers in the NSW Hunter region.
The video has now emerged.

- Jordie Barrett over Damian de Allende is far from being correct. The hype around Dupont is also overreaching, he's probably 4th in the world and has been since the 2023 WC. He also avoids certain matchups which is strange. The rest of the list is pretty good apart from minor subjective biases.JasonMarlow16-09-2026
