Respected former referee Nigel Owens was suitably unimpressed at what he regarded as poor sportsmanship.
Yes there is a law broken it’s called Against the spirit of the game. When I was refereeing on the WR 7s circuit we would tell the player to ground the ball in this situation. I’m amazed the referee hasn’t told him too. https://t.co/yRmtXJE6uo
