Nigel Owens explains why THAT Jonny May try was awarded vs Italy

Former international referee Nigel Owens has cleared up the controversial ruling surrounding Jonny May’s amazing diving try against Italy last weekend.

The Gloucester winger dived acrobatically to score an impressive try at Twickenham last Saturday in round two of the Six Nations and some fans questioned whether May had jumped into the tackle.

In the latest edition of World Rugby’s Whistle Watch Owens gives his expert insight into the decision making process which allowed May’s try to stand when some thought it should have been ruled out.
