A Welsh referee delivered an epic warning to a player during the Rugby World Cup following a blatant dive.
Match official Nigel Owens took exception to Scotland full-back Stuart Hogg's attempt to fool him when he went down with little contact during a match against South Africa at the home of Newcastle United, St. James' Park.
"There was nothing wrong with (the tackle). If you want to dive like that again, come back here in two weeks and play (when the football's on), not today. Watch it," Owens warned.
