No he’s saying the opposite

NIGEL OWENS: Maro Itoje always plays on the edge and is difficult to referee but Owen Farrell is always respectful - former ref open up on his England experiences and how Eddie Jones' boys can get officials onside

So will next week he be saying how great Itoje is with refs?

Nigel did cover himself though by saying he was fine with him... but in other games, not so?
Owen always did that with me. I have seen other games where he has been in the referee’s ear at the wrong times and that he may need to address. That is also down to the referee to deal with it and stop it happening.

Nigel's definitely making sure he has a long career ahead of him as a rent-a-quote, eh.
