Fans laud Nigel Owens for bold call in favour of Saracens during Heineken Cup semi

Fans have jumped on Twitter to praise referee Nigel Owens for calling out the Racing 92 scrum half for not using the ball at a breakdown.

The legendary referee gave Teddy Iribaren the call to “use it” and after five seconds awarded a scrum to Saracens early on the Champions Cup semi-final at Paris La Défense Arena.

Fans and pundits expressed sheer delight that Owens had turned over possession for a rule which many feel has been neglected for years.
