Martin Johnson has admitted he would have been equally as furious if he was in Owen Farrell’s shoes after referee Pascal Gauzere’s controversial decision for Wales’ first try.

Four players Eddie Jones MUST call-up after Wales defeat
1. Sam Simmonds (Exeter Chiefs)
- Age: 26
- Position: Number 8
He’s a bit of a renegade but, with 12 tries in the Premiership already, the calls for an international recall continue to grow.

The Saracens back-rower was sin-binned against Scotland and was poor against Italy and Wales. Please finally do the right thing Eddie!
