Toulon owner hits out at ‘biased’ Barnes despite win

Toulon’s eccentric owner Mourad Boudjellal has taken a swipe at English referee Wayne Barnes, accusing him of showing bias against his all-star team during Sunday’s Heineken Cupquarter-final.

Toulon head coach Bernard Laporte was serving a ban after criticising match officials so Boudjellal took the unusual step of hosting the post-match press conference after his side’s 29-14 win over Leinster.

And the billionaire didn’t take a conservative approach.
