It would be wrong to have a Brit reffing in a final with a British team. 

What? That's nonsense

Have you ever seen an English ref take charge of a Scottish club or the national team in football? Or vice versa?

Owens continually jobs French and Italian clubs in Europe and the Pro14.

World Rugby are fine with British refs reffing other British sides. 2007 final England v South Africa had an Irish and 1991 Australia v England had a Welsh ref

Another great record for Warren

 

I am all for sticking the boot into Gatland but tbf South Africa have the best defence of any team I've ever seen. Hopefully they can strangle the life out of England too.

Not to mention Owens doing the New Zealand v England semi final just last week!

They knew the rules and refused to move back when told to by the officials, so it was always on the cards. It's laughable how much importance is now put on the Haka, if you watch clips of it from the 70s it is hilarious. I don't mind them doing it tbh, but I don't see why the opposing team should be forced to do anything other than stay in their own half, if they want to go into a huddle and ignore it, that's their call, or even continue warming up like Campese did in 1991.

Talk now if NZ being interested in Rennie taking over there from Hansen, probably as they dont want to sit and watch Warrenball.

Jamie Joseph has been mentioned too, and with him having Japan playing so well he might have a good chance.

 

As expected both NZ and Wales have rung the changes for the bronze medal match, but the Kiwis look far stronger. I would think they will want to avenge last Saturday's defeat so it could be a tough shift for the Welsh. Which would be nice, would love to see Gatland finish up with a 30 point defeat.

The AB back line is arguably even stronger than the one they had at the weekend.
