[QUOTE="The Jones Boy, post: 765838, member: 70721"] Strewth ! Did he run away with your Dad? DRONGO ALERT.!!! Mr Owens never favours anyone, but he does like smooth rucks and clean outs, rear entry (Ooh err missus) not from the side... he will favour both teams because he promotes quality rucking situations and thats where Aussie hold the upper hand, not the AB's. Where Aussie might suffer is from Stephen Moore who gets a bit stressed sometimes and likes to get in the face of the referee and challenge them. Some referees don't like that and if Mr Moore does it to Mr Owens it may work against the Aussies. A ten yard march here, a defensive punt that becomes a 3 pointer opportunity there, little things that don't break a game but come up with a contribution toward a final total. If Mr Owens represents anything to Kiwi's it is this, we are over the moon we don't have to put up with Mr Pedantic, Wayne Barnes. The King of stop start rugby. Nigel owens brings a level of experience and common sense that is second to none. If any AB has a brain fart they will still get binned. He doesn't tolerate nonsense and if Mr Pocock is at top form he will win some breakdown penalties for the Wallabies from Mr Owens. [/QUOTE]
