Watch: Nigel Owens Brilliantly Slags Jaco Taute For Poor Pass In Munster & Glasgow Game
Latest posts by Will Matthews (see all)
Nigel Owens was in excellent form tonight.
Referee Nigel Owens proved once again why he’s the best referee in the world as he took charge of a fiery affair between Munster and Glasgow.
As per usual, the Welshman was stern in his decision making, laying a marker down for both sides early in the first-half.
He also wasn’t afraid to use the TMO when needed, correctly spotting a knock on by Munster that looked to be a certain score, telling both sides that ‘he knows it’s an important game for them and wants to be sure he gets the decisions right.’
Late in the second-half, Owens also gave us another one of his classic moments, brilliantly slagging off South African Jaco Taute for a poor missed pass.
“It’s poor play there by you on the pass, under no pressure there.”
Billy Holland then responded with a quip of his own, after Munster had messed up their initial advantage.
“Cheers coach.”
