This weekend, the ever-present Wayne Barnes will be refereeing a record 10th Premiership final. In the wake of his achievement, a video from 2013 has been given a new lease of life on TikTok, amassing huge viewing figures.
We've all heard Nigel Owens' famous interactions with players, and this one from Barnes is hugely reminiscent of the stern Welshman. Northampton Saints were taking on Leicester Tigers, when Dylan Hartley of the Saints made a comment that bordered on scandalous
Just moments before his red card, Barnes had given Hartley a big warning "This isn't how you behave as a champion, please keep your comments to yourself or I may have to deal with it by way of penalty." Despite being previously warned for his behaviour, Hartley proceeded to call Barnes a "f*****g cheat", and it was plain as day to hear.
