'I'm looking after you!' Ref halts Six Nations game to help player despite his arguments

Six Nations referee Luke Pearce has been widely praised for his handling of a potentially dangerous incident during the Italy v Scotland match.

Pearce halted the match immediately with Scotland closing in on the Italian line after spotting Italy's Ignacio Brex had taken a heavy blow to the head.

The Englishman blew his whistle and ordered Brex to take a knee to settle himself after he was knocked to the turf at a ruck.
