What's in a red card?

About this episode

Nigel Owens and Jamie Roberts discuss the recent red cards and player discipline during the November internationals.

Nigel Owens and Jamie Roberts return to the farm for the second round of November internationals - and what a weekend it was. It's fair to say that discipline wasn't always on full display over the weekend with a handful of players shown cards for illegal or unsportsmanlike play. Nigel and Jamie look through the weekend's action to assess the big calls and also address that Tadhg Beirne send-off in Chicago. Whistle Watch is in partnership with Emirates. Hosted on Acast.
