Referee Ben O’Keeffe has brushed off Antoine Dupont’s criticism of his performance in the Rugby World Cup quarter-final manila between France and South Africa, accepting that “players and coaches are going to say things” manila

“I’m sure everything’s fine, we’ve done my review and we’ll reach out and get things back on track as well manila
But I understand the sentiment after a big match like that manila

Saturday’s encounter at the Stade de France will be the third time he has refereed the Springboks at this tournament, having also been in charge for the pool stage defeat to Ireland manila
