During the Boxing Day derby against the Scarlets, Ospreys coach Toby Booth claims that he concurred with the decisions made by referee Craig Evans.

We have to settle on something for a longer period of time than we do. Additionally, we will need more time to consider any changes to the law.
“Most of the time, we have to change law variations back six months later because they realize we shouldn’t have done them.
” or they attempt to alter something else. The modifications need to be given a great deal more thought and time. Now that things have to change during the season, it’s almost part of rugby. I just find it insane, and we have to get out of it.
