Some of Kaplan's other notable games in charge include the first ever game in the Six Nations Championship, between Italy and Scotland in 2000, the second test between the British and Irish Lions and Australia in 2001 and the third test between the Lions and New Zealand in 2005.
In the 2011 Six Nations he controversially awarded a game-deciding Wales try where the ball had been changed, and a quick throw-in should not have been permitted.
