Argentina is being investigated after a post-match incident involving Rugby referee Angus Gardner following Argentina’s loss to England. Multiple reports say the confrontation occurred at the end of the game after a controversial moment, when Gardner was accosted by members of Argentina’s rugby team. The Age and other outlets report that the investigation involves more than one Argentina team, suggesting that a separate or additional group within Argentina’s rugby setup is also under review. Separate from the rugby match, the reporting notes that the incident follows closely on the heels of Argentina’s soccer team competing in the FIFA World Cup final, with references to a timeline of about 24 hours between events. Across the sources, the central points remain consistent: Gardner officiated the England-Argentina match, controversy followed the final whistle, and Argentina’s rugby players reacted toward the referee. The investigations are underway, with no additional details about disciplinary outcomes or the specific findings reported yet.
