Nigel Owens is here to answer your questions on Rugby's Laws, plus Wasp's ladies coach,

Giselle Mayther, updates us on how the Premier 15s are going.

But first, I'm joined here in the studio by the former England in Gloucester Winger, James

Simpson Daniel.

Hello James, how are you?

Ryan, very good on you.

Good man. What do you think of the weekend's actions? A couple of shocks, I think.

Yeah, absolutely. I think let's talk about my old side first and foremost if we can.

I think they did everything they could to lose that game in the end. For about 70 minutes, they were very good. And then, yeah,

there was a little bit of the old Gloucester of trying to run it from deep, probably from too deep,

and equally not taking three points when available to make it a seven point gap.

What about that? Because, I mean, I'm very firmly of the view

that you should take the points on offer almost always because of scoreboard pressure. Now, it would

only have made seven points difference, so a try, but it would have to be a converted try, and that's

a point. You couldn't score it in the corner and be sure of that. And is it, is it solely down to the captain?

Does anyone else have an input into these things?

Or does depend on the team, I suppose?

Well, it can depend on the team.
