O'Rourke 'ref bias' comments provoke storm

Former Meath footballer Colm O'Rourke has courted controversy after accusing Australian referee Mathew James of being biased during last Friday's International Rules first Test in Perth.

O'Rourke, who managed Ireland to victory in the 1999 series Down Under, hit out at James, who was making his debut as a series official, in his Sunday Independent column.
