Description

This week we are talking about officiating and how it is evolving with the increasing presence of technology in the game. Ben, Charles and Charlie are joined by one of the most recognisable officials to have ever stepped onto the field in Nigel Owens. Nigel expresses his concerns for a growing over-reliance on the TMO and he also explains how a desire to referee a 'perfect' game is making the sport less watchable. We also get his take on Rassie Erasmus after the South Africa director of rugby took to social media yet again to question officiating after his side’s loss to France.We are once again joined by Fiona Tomas from Auckland after the Red Roses fell agonisingly short in the World Cup final against New Zealand.The guys recap a comfortable win for England over Japan where Marcus Smith helped himself to a brace of tries, yet not everyone is convinced the Harlequins star should be in the starting XV.Plus, we cast an eye over the rest of the weekend’s action including a comeback win for the All Blacks over Scotland, a thriller between France and South Africa in Marseille and a first win for Italy over Australia!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
