Absolute bollox.
England playmaker Owen Farrell has once again escaped punishment for a blatant no-arm shoulder hit, preventing a certain Australia try just before half-time in their Twickenham encounter.
The two sides go into the break tied 13-13, but the Wallabies arguably should be leading after Farrell smashed Wallabies lock Izack Rodda with an illegal hit after he ran an excellent line.
The hit is very similar to the one that cost South Africa a potential last minute win at Twickenham two weeks ago. How many of these is Farrell going to get away with before referees start to cop on?
Another blatant no arms shoulder hit from Farrell – no wrap and saves a certain try.
