Which game officiated by Nigel Owens, is your favourite? Let us know in the comments!

All blacks South Africa, Ellis Park 2013. Couldn't have happened under any other ref

@ALtheIE 2 года назад

@@orenrob1914 That was one of the most magnificent games between the two teams ever. Even though SA lost at home, no Saffa felt hard done by because it was a beautifully reffed game with great enterprise on both sides that delivered nine tries.

There can never be another Nigel Owens. As a big Springbok supporter we simply loved Nigel!!! The best ref ever with the best quips on the field.

Always great to hear from the great Nigel Owen. As famous as any rugby player 👍🏼👏🏼

Nigel Owens deserves a knighthood for his services to the game. Always a great game when he is the ref.

@dangriff12 2 года назад

I agree. What other international refs after refereeing internationals go and referee school matches.

@ethanharrison9379 2 года назад

Nigel deserves a big sword to qualify his knighthood

Amen to that. He should be top tutor at the IRB ref school

I’m not a huge rugby fan, but Nigel gave a talk to open the Gemau Cymru a couple of years ago (my daughters are gymnasts and were competing). I didn’t know who he was really, but he was an excellent communicator and his words were quite inspiring. I hope that he enjoys his retirement from refereeing and the farming goes well, but isn’t lost to sport and the public. He has a lot to give.

@adampoultney8737 2 года назад

My favourite thing about Nigel Owens aside from his great refereeing is he just seems like a genuinely great guy to be around

@truthalwayswins3078 2 года назад

Nigel set a standard very few if any can emulate. Great referee and as a South African we always appreciated him.

@rovcanada1 2 года назад

Thanks for taking the time to run through your jerseys. They are all special. I have kept many of my cricketing jerseys, and display them proudly in my mancave bar. Looking at them from time to time evokes many emotions, but the one that satisfies me most is that the jersey is proof of the pudding that I actually acheived something which was highly significant to myself. As I age, they are a material timestamp of my life, and I feel proud of my past.

@wiremu9876 2 года назад

Thank you and my utmost respect to you Sir. You are by far the most fairest and unbiased referee I have the pleasure and an honour to have had the opportunity as a passionate rugby union player/coach for 45 yrs. It is humble people as yourself has demonstrated and an ardent humanitarium volunteering, supporting and conducting programs aimed soley towards the under priviledged in poverty and isolated peoples. Love your work, as a leader and I would be glad to see NZ enter you into our rugby "Hall Of Fame" along with all the other greats of rugby where you belong.

@zaneboshoff6210 2 года назад

Absolute respect! Being a referee I bet you will need some pretty thick skin because one bad call is like signing your own death warrant by the fans and to be on the field with some giants. Thank you Nigel!

@stephendavies923 2 года назад

As a Rugby fan I am a little dismayed that I have only just discovered this channel, but super happy to watch Nigel talk about his jerseys and career. As an England supporter, when at Twickenham, we always had respect for Nigel, even if we did not agree with his decisions :-) A great guy and another superb ambassador for the sport.

@melbeeswax6087 2 года назад

Wonderful stories that we can all relate to. Simply put, we love the game and what it stands for above everything else.

As a welshman it makes me so proud that Nigel was 'ours'. An absolutely peerless referee in his time. Presiding WITH games, using his sensitive-but-distinctly-no-nonsense rugby touch, that I think, became utterly fantastic. With such a legacy, I'm convinced he'll be an inspiration forever. Can only hope I'll get to meet, and have a pint with him, someday!

@jandreneethling5664 2 года назад

As a South African supporter.. There were times that I hated Nigel Owens There were times I loved him There were times I felt sorry for him.. Those were all between a win and loss as a normal supporter.. But never has this man brought himself disrecord by any of his actions both on and off field. For that I salute the master! I agree with some.. Nigel should be knighted! His contribution to rugby far outweighs the likes of clive woodworks..
