Former Test referee Nigel Owens has put forward a couple of changes to flaws with the game’s laws to make it more of an entertaining spectacle., Owens ran the rule over the recently concluded Six Nations, looking at whether some of the law trials introduced into Test rugby had worked as intended.
“There have been some good instances of 50:22 kicks, but we need to look at the bigger picture of why the law was brought in, which was to try to get teams to drop back a defender or two to prevent 50:22 kicks from happening, therefore creating more space in midfield to encourage teams to attack,” Owens wrote.
“It’s illegal to pull a player down in that contact area, so until the officials deal with that more strictly, we are not going to see the full benefits of the 50:22 in terms of creating more space for attacking rugby. The law should stay, and the ruck law should be refereed.
