Gonzalo Quesada ban shows why Rassie Erasmus now treads carefully around referees

Italy head coach Gonzalo Quesada received a two-match ban for comments about refereeing after Italy's Nations Championship loss to New Zealand. This is the first penalty under World Rugby's new Match Official Abuse Sanction Process, aimed at protecting referees. Quesada has the right to appeal. The process was introduced due to growing concerns over abuse and threats directed at match officials.
