It was a weird old week of rugby in Europe\xa0over the weekend. \xa0

The All Blacks were smashed, England beaten by Fiji, Scotland were losing 6-0 to Georgia at halftime and Ireland snuck past Samoa.\xa0

In the All Blacks game alone there were penalties galore and questionable calls which inevitably led to cards. \xa0\xa0

So it isn't just the players under the pump but also the referees - and no one knows more about that than former international referee Nigel Owens who joined the Mike Hosking Breakfast.
