(Reuters) France – Following the fiasco and uproar from Saturday’s nights New Zealand versus France semi final and the subsequent death threats from most of New Zealand, the IRB have decided to give referee Wayne Barnes a new identity.
Barnes, who has retreated to his recently acquired French villa with long time lover Sebastian Chabal welcomed the opportunity for a name change and a chance at anonymity.
“Its been h**l for me since Saturday†the cross-eyed be-spectacled Barnes said. “Everybody has been teasing me about my eye sight problem and some nasty people from New Zealand even wrote some horrible things about me on the internet†sobbed Barnes while being caressed by his boyfriend Chabal.
After being given a number of possible new names, Barnes decided to go with the new name Wayne Kerr. “After all†Barnes said, “Since Saturday everyone has been calling me a wan ker and probably will for the rest of my life, so Wayne Kerr was a natural choice of name for meâ€Â
