Chelsea boss Frank Lampard wants greater respect for match officials from his players.

Lampard is a fan of the culture of what rugby boasts.

Having been struck during the tournament by the vastly different approach of rugby players towards referees, Lampard said: "I think maybe yes (footballers could learn from rugby players).

"I think we should maybe have a sit-down with them because I was also thinking how well restrained - not restrained, there is no reason you should be restrained - but how well Owen Farrell and every player, the New Zealand players as well, reacted to the referee in the semi-final.

"And I think it is certainly something we could take on board - to take a deep breath sometimes more than we do. I think the respect in rugby seems to go both ways (between referees and players) - I think we could probably all learn."
