Jason Pine: Weekend Sport host on Wayne Barnes retiring from international rugby refereeing - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

International rugby's most experienced referee Wayne Barnes has announced his retirement after 111 tests.

His retirement comes just days after the Rugby World Cup final, where he cited online abuse, including death threats, in his reasoning for stepping down.

A must-win game for the Black Caps in Bengaluru against Pakistan.

The Black Caps have lost their last three in a row, and need a win to all but secure their spot in the Cricket World Cup semifinals.

Weekend Sport host Jason Pine joined Andrew Dickens.
