A Nigel Owens Tribute. I'm sure we've all heard the news that rugby's greatest referee; Nigel Owens is retiring from rugby, so I've made a video showcasing his best moments from over the years! Which one is your favourite?

“I’m straighter than that one” is one of THE best lines ever. Not only from a comedic perspective, but also just honesty.

Nigel was the best referee that ever set foot on a rugby pitch, his unique way of communicating with the players is legendary and I'm sure he earned the respect of most of the players who were fortunate enough to be part of Nigel's long and distinguished career as a rugby ref.

" Come here... don't look so worried." Well, that's as reassuring as when being called to the headmaster's room.

In case anyone doesnt know, Nigel was concerned that the ballboy would take his joke yellow card the wrong way. When the ball went out next he went over to him to check on him and shook his hand.

He says no need to call him Sir. I'm fairly certain he's earned that respect.

boy will he be missed. As I have said elsewhere he should be knighted for his services to the game. A fair, good humoured gentleman who has has come through much in his life to reach the very highest level of his profession. And before anyone says anything i am not Welsh but a man from Langholm in the Scottish Border country once the heartland of Scottish rugby.

"I'm straighter than that one" must be the funniest comment heard on a rugby field. Great man in all respects.

I don't think we've met, but I'm the referee. Legend.

The best referee I have seen in 32 years watching the game. Professional, consistent and fair, hardly missed anything on the pitch. Let the game flow, and appreciated great rugby. Proud that he is Welsh but unfortunately the Welsh rugby team didn't benefit from his refereeing. A great tribute to see he did get to referee Wales once against the Barbarians. Enjoyed watching Nigel's career and benefiting the sport as a whole. Thank you Nigel

One of if not the greatest ref in rugby union history. He gained the respect of not just the players but everyone in the sport. His wit and unique interactions with the players will surely be missed on the international level, it will never be the same without him.
