Quittenton refereed 20 Test matches during his career, including games at the inaugural Rugby World Cup in New Zealand in 1987. As with many officials, his career was marked by a high-profile event, namely the awarding of the winning penalty to New Zealand as they beat Wales 12-10 in Cardiff in 1978. All Blacks lock Andy Haden dived from the line in an attempt to con the official and while Quittenton actually penalised Wales' Geoff Wheel for a push on Frank Oliver, the moment has become infamous.
