WATCH: Referee Nigel Owens reprimands replacement front rows
Monday 2 January 2017 13:48, UK
Nigel Owens reprimanded the replacement front rows with another classic line during the Scarlets' win over Cardiff Blues on New Year's Day.
With six minutes remaining another scrum collapse caused a reset, and forced Welsh referee Owens to intervene.
"Is this why you're not starting the game?" he quipped. "Because the front six have been very good. Keep the same standards please."
It was a busy afternoon for Owens, who also got in the way of a kick through by Scarlets wing Steff Evans.
The Scarlets were 15-10 winners over the Blues, moving them up to fifth in the Guinness PRO12 table.
