[QUOTE="Dunhookin, post: 826687, member: 74570"] Yes Blind - well raised, Nigel Owens is a world class referee and an engaging character. The game needs referees of his immense ability and personality - he's a breath of fresh air. Must say with massive frustration and dismay that yesterday in the England v Argentina game saw the plunging of new depths of bent feeding. Both sides blatantly putting it in the 2nd row - secure in the knowledge that the referee was more likely to streak than penalise this 'couldn't be more blatant' law breaking. The Pumas bent feeding was so bad the 9 might as well have just placed the ball at the 8s feet and have done with it. One of WR's (and IRB before them) catch phrases is dealing with law issues that are 'clear and obvious'. The severity and extent of elite level bent feeding is such that it couldn't possibly be more CLEAR AND OBVIOUS! It's well past time that WR were called to account publicly on this abject failure...
