00:00 Regarding the ongoing disciplinary matter with Owen Farrell,
00:05 unfortunately given the disruption to his week, the intrusion in terms of his
00:10 preparation and made a decision to pull him out of the team that he would
00:14 otherwise have led this weekend.
00:16 The situation is one I find really disappointing.
00:22 We thought we had reached a conclusion of this matter on Tuesday.
00:28 It had an impact in terms of disruption for this week.
00:31 Now, it's gonna be ongoing into next test week.
00:35 The situation with the England team and Owen in particular seems to be amplified.
00:45 The commentary around it seems to move from a issue around the tackle
00:51 to personal attacks on the character of the man, which I think is just wrong.
