WELLINGTON, Aug 26 (Reuters) - Wallabies coach Michael Cheika has questioned the refereeing of Nigel Owens in their 35-29 Rugby Championship loss to the All Blacks on Saturday. "Retallick has picked up one of our blokes and put him on his head, categorically," Cheika said of the incident in the 23rd minute. The guy can't end up on his (head) any other way... just as well he didn't break his neck." Owens was alerted to the incident by the television official Rowan Kitt and he halted the game while they checked footage. The Wallabies had been pilloried after their 54-34 loss in the first match in Sydney last week, particularly for their defence when the All Blacks raced out to a 54-6 lead after 48 minutes.
