The referee who will take charge of the England v Wales match in the Six Nations in February is under heavy fire after his "shocking" handling of a big European tie.
Scotsman Mike Adamson made a number of controversial calls during Harlequins’ 36-33 Heineken Champions Cup win over Castres, culminating in the contentious awarding of a try to home back-rower Alex Dombrandt late on which proved decisive.
Adamson's display fuelled concerns that he may be found wanting when England host Wales on February 26.
