[QUOTE="ABs2011, post: 765173, member: 57663"] So happy with this appointment. It should mean the final will be an ejoyable one for all to watch. For me the main thing is that Owens allows time for there to be a contest at the breakdown before deciding if a penalty is required. A lot of other refs appear intent on blowing upt the first thing they see. The later results in a pretty dire stop start affair while the former gives the game a chance to be free flowing. As for who it advantages? Well it certinaly suits NZ, but as someone else said, OZ too. I think Argentina would struggle to keep pace witht the ABs for 80min in a free flowing game though. All in all though I think it gives the final the best possible chance to be a great spectacle! [/QUOTE]
