VIDEO: Nigel Owens tells off Scotland fullback for 'football' dive!

Welsh referee Nigel Owens makes it crystal clear to Scotland's Stuart Hogg during their RWC Pool B game against the Boks at St. James' Park that diving has no place in rugby! Watch.

"Dive like that again, come back here in two weeks and play, not today", he tells Hogg, suggesting his behaviour is more suited to Newcastle Utd's next home Premier League game (against Norwich on the 18th October).
