Michael Cheika calls referee's decision over Owen Farrell tackle 'ludicrous'

Australia coach Michael Cheika has criticised referee Jaco Peyper after a try-saving no-arms tackle by Owen Farrell went unpunished in his side's 37-18 defeat to England.  With the tourists trailing 13-10 on the stroke of halftime, Australia lock Izack Rodda charged towards the line only to have his progress halted by Farrell. Peyper declined to use the television match official for the challenge that Sir Clive Woodward said should have been a penalty try - an outcome which would have put the Wallabies 17-13 ahead with a conversion to come.  Farrell escaped sanction for a similar tackle in the autumn opener against South Africa, while a week later England were denied victory against New Zealand when a late try was ruled out by the TMO.  Heady mix of fight and flight recalls Eddie Jones’ vision of Englishness
