Rugby officials should stop tampering with the rules, insists O’Shea

FORMER Ireland full-back Conor O’Shea has added his voice to the growing chorus of disagreement with the new interpretation of rugby laws.

Referee Craig Joubert penalised Ireland’s David Wallace at one stage against Wales, a call which infuriated the Irish management, and O’Shea says officials should focus on other matters.

“I cannot understand what the IRB is trying to achieve by changing anything in the midst of a Championship,” said O’Shea.
