I think if you listen to what he told the English captain, the card was for no arms in the tackle, and contact with the head. I think if play had broken down on one of the two or three English penalties, that he played advantage, England would have been on a warning anyway. It's a harsh call, but I think it was the right call. Remember, ABs were on a warning after 3 penalties in the first few minutes.
This game shows not only the questionable officiating but also Englands lack of attacking skill. Untold times they created space and numbers but lacked that extra skill to finish
Nigel Owen's is the most unpredictable nd so inconsistent referee.He is an overrated referee.Even as a linesman hs opinions can be so ridiculous nd it's frustrating for the players cos they are not allowed to give their opinions otherwise they get a finger popping nd tongue lashing Owen. The S African, Australian nd New Zealand even the ref from Georgia is far more compitent than owen.
You're fkn delusional 😂 This isn't Nigel's best refereeing, but he is the best referee hands down and compared to the rest, the most consistent referee. You're a genuine idiot to compare lmao
if you are here to watch rugby and also want to avoid a load of sensationalist crap and ludicrous dances, skip to 4.30 oh no - don't say we are also going to have to put up with unnecessary camera shots of managers 100 times during the game - yet again. What's that about anyway?
