[QUOTE="Yoshimitsu, post: 972256, member: 71899"] Interesting. I'd take Owens over Garces all day. But it does change the way the game will be played. Holding on / spoiling ball is much, much more difficult with Nigel Owens than possibly any other referee. However, he is alert to holding by those in attack which opens up the ruck area to swift contest for the ball. Garces just lets it sort itself out i.e. teams variously smash all the Jacklers out of the way regardless of how long it takes. I don't know whether Jerome's dictionary has a different definition of "immediately" but the sight of Pocock in perfect position with both hands on the ball getting smashed by at least 2 English ruck clearers was a graphic illustration of the Garces approach. Undercurry will have their work cut out with Cane and Savea but it'll be a great contest. [/QUOTE]
