- Current Referee grade:
- Level 7
I didn't mention who the ref was in the game I was watching (because I didn't want it to affect the discussion) but was Owens, so I am happy to go with "he got it right and I got it wrong".
I do have to say though, I think we are giving 'what the players are expecting' too much credence though haha, on Saturday when I confidently pointed to the 22 every single player accepted it without even a murmer and off we went (and it was a very good level 6 game so it was a game played by very experienced players from both sides).
Having seen Owens award the scrum and having read through opinions, laws quoted from every one on here I will be awarding a 5m scrum in the future.
