You can follow her in Weibo (Chinese version of Twitter / Facebook) - http://www.weibo.com/refivyzhu

She has done a really good job to date and getting lots of good comments from the players.

Michaela Tabb speaks highly of her, as I understand it.

I think she might also be the body from the game show The Cube.

Nice young lady, certainly brings a touch of elegance to the proceedings, which can't be bad.

hopefully this new female ref will not develop a rather large ego like a certain other female ref

Boo to you, sir. I'm quite a Michaela Tabb fan.
