Joel Jutge retires

Sources close to Refblog advise that Joel Jutge has been beaten by injury and has retired from refereeing.

Can only find it briefly here: http://www.scrum.com/scrum/rugby/story/98352.html

Sad news – apart from the terrible plastic whistle he used, he was a great referee. Met him at a Heineken Cup game at the Madj Stad a few eyars ago when I was a lowly clip board operator. Terribly nice chap.

I wish him well in his new role with Joel Dume in developing future referees in France.

About Ref

I've been refereeing for nine years and am now operating at national league level. I'm married and am lucky to have a wonderfully supportive wife who puts up with all my rugby without complaint (well, to me anyway!)

    Now that is a shame. Didn’t get everything right – who does? but was fair & consistent & that’s all you can ask. Could have been one of the greats given a few more years. No justice that he’s gone & Walsh is back!
