OWENS GETS TOP GIG

Nigel Owens, the best referee in the world has unsurprisingly been given the opportunity to referee the RWC 2015 final on Saturday. He has the toughest of tasks, and will need to decide which of Australia and New Zealand (both masters of the dark arts) is breaking the law the most. Both teams has had the rub of the green referee wise in recent games. NZ still seem to be able to concede numerous penalties without the sanction of a yellow card, and that pass on Saturday to Kaino for their first try was definitely forward. Likewise, Australia benefitted from a clear forward pass on Sunday by Mitchell for Ashley-Cooper's last try, and also constantly cheat to slow down opposition ball without a yellow card. Mr Owens will card someone on Saturday, will it be McCaw in his last game, Kaino (the lazy runner) or Pocock/Hooper (Pooper), the dynamic Oz breakdown duo? What is guaranteed is that if Mr Owens has an important decision to make in the last two minutes to decide the result, (unlike poor Craig Joubert) he will seek help from the TMO, big screen or his line judges.

The referee is always right
