Wallabies fuming at controversial disallowed try

Referee Nigel Owens has become public enemy number one in Australia after overturning a try to Henry Speight.

The 45th minute score would have evened the leveled the match at 15-all with a kick to come for the Wallabies, however it was overturned as Owens and his video referee determined Dane Haylett-Petty had obstructed Julian Savea.

"Nigel Owens should never referee a test match again that is disgraceful," Fox Sports commentator Rod Kafer said.
