Nigels Owens reprimands Frans Steyn

Nigels Owens had to have a word with Montpellier's Frans Steyn after he tried to distract Stephen Myler during this conversion attempt.

Former South Africa coach Peter de Villiers may be calling for Steyn to be included in the Springbok squad for their year-end tour to Europe, but referee Owens was not amused by his antics.

Steyn was in fine form for Montpellier but could not help them beat Northampton as Myler landed an injury-time penalty to give Saints the win.

Owens was not impressed and not only did he make Myler take the kick again - which he slotted - but also had some stern words for the Montpellier centre.
