Wales international launches into heated argument with referee amid calls for rule change

CALLUM SHEEDY got into a feisty argument with the referee after a bizarre incident in the United Rugby Championship.

- 

Cardiff were playing DHL Stormers in their final game of the season on Friday night, and the Welsh region had just scored through Gabriel Hamer-Webb following a fine cross-kick by Sheedy before half time.

When Sheedy lined up the conversion, he was told by referee Gianluca Gnecchi: “20 seconds now, Callum, 20 seconds.”

The Welsh fly-half asked about a shot clock and Gnecchi confirmed there wasn’t one in the stadium.

As Sheedy eventually set up to take it, Gnecchi told him he had two seconds left, and the fly-half did not make the kick in time.

The referee blew his whistle before the kick had sailed through the uprights, prompting a colourful response from Sheedy.
