Kylie Minogue I think.

Pretty much all scrum penalties are safety things. You don't see illegal binding called that often but it is pretty important as it can destabilise the front row pretty badly, trying to make the other guy collapse or pop up.

Marginally late, he'll say he was committed but you can't just put your head down and keep charging through regardless of the pass being made, onus is on you to swerve.

I think Owens reffing has been good, he's calling some good technical penalties which shows both sides they can't mess around

I was surprised but it's very early in the final still. I think the next offense, even a smaller one will be a card though

I think you're being extremely generous with that viewing of the tackle, his hand was clearly up by his neck
