FYI at one part of the video he says “if you want to ‘cwtch’ boys you do it off the pitch not on it” Cwtch is Welsh for cuddle/hug. Nigel is one of the most respected referees in rugby globally and has been missed globally since he retired. Nigel Owens MBE Got awarded the MBE ( Member of the order of the British empire) by HRH the Queen herself for his services to sport in 2016. He is a legend of his own lifetime and has the world record for most number of test matches refereed. You’ll never get another Nigel he was a 5 foot man who commanded respect from 6+ foot Giants The world over. I love that man and his tweets on Twitter are hilarious and is well worth a follow. Since his retirement he’s gone back home to his small village where he was brought up in West Wales , there he has bought a house and developed it into his own dairy farm and I think that’s what he’s currently occupied with. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇬🇧 Absolute legend 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🖤🙏🔴🟢⚪️

The referees are vital for the flow of the game. A good ref will talk to both teams, especially while they are scrambling around on the floor following a tackle or scrum. Even if it is just to say "ball is loose", it lets both teams know when they can push in / ruck over in to the gate or if they need to run down the sides. A lot of decisions in games are subjective af, but you got to go with what the ref is calling cos for the most part they are fair.

As many have said already, Rugby is a thugs game played by gentlemen, in either code of the game, union or league, the ref rules the pitch, his word is final, you are taught as you start to play the game, that you respect the Ref, no matter what, you call him sir, and take on board what he says to you, and you respect his decision, and at the end of the game you shake his hand, saying that Nigel Owens, had the respect of not only the players , but the supporters to, a true legend in the sport, and there is not many officials in any sport you can say that about.

In fairness, all rugby refs will often bring the captains over when one of their players are being penalised. In general rugby refs are treated with a lot more respect than their counterparts in other sports.

He is certainly a rare breed of referees that was able to get the respect of the players and managers. I listened to an interview and he is now looking forward to some socialising with players at events as he's retired and they don't do that for obvious reasons. If he could teach that version of leadership and people management especially in business he should make millions as what is that worth to a company?

There’s another element here at play and that is that Rugby is played by gentlemen and as such the referee commands respect. This is something that they have managed to maintain and it is very rare to hear a player argue with a rugby referee. That said, Nigel Owens is a class act and an incredible referee.

@frankw9619 Жыл бұрын

The normal protocol is to speak to the captains so that they can pass the information on to their teams. It is unusual to get all the players together. The only similar thing I can think of is in Rugby League when, after the captain has been warned about repeated offences, the referee makes a signal known as a "team warning" meaning that the next person to commit that offence will be sin-binned. (Sin-binning is where the yellow card is produced meaning that the player goes off the field for ten minutes).

@donfleming8735 Жыл бұрын

Nigel had just refereed the World Cup final,and was asked to referee a Welsh premier league game. At half time the local junior rugby teams came on to play 7 a side, for the crowds entertainment. Big stayed on the field and reffed half a game for 2 of the matches. I cannot see any soccer referee doing that, and imagine going into school on Monday and telling your friends the World Cup final referee had refereed your game. Good man giving back to the good family,that is rugby.

In Rugby, the referee is the sole judge of fact, since it doesn’t matter what anybody else “thinks”. In Rugby it is not the role of the referee to control the players; that role falls to the team captains and/or pack leaders, which is why the referee is often heard to tell the captains to sort it out.

The comparison I see most often is: Football is a Gentlemans game for Thugs. Rugby is a thuggish game for Gentlemen. Which I think is in no small part to the way it's handled by officials and players alike, but particularly the refs. I'm a football fan, will always take football over rugby but I can absolutely understand the differences in respect and self awareness. There has really only ever been ONE football referee who has earned the same level of accolades, plaudits and respect and that's Pierluigi Collina.

@thetruthhurts7675 Жыл бұрын

Nigel Owens still involved in picking the international referees for which games they get. Plus as an Englishman he is the only referee that I would accept from Wlaes refereeing a game between England and Wales. No other referee has ever had this accolade said about him, it is not just me who thinks this about him this way and the way he referees games.

You should watch some of the darts. Just search KZfaq for "Sid Waddell best moments" or some thing of that nature. There's thousands of videos... Up to 2012 when he died The commentator, 'Sid Waddell' provided a colourful commentary . He says some really funny stuff. Things like :- "The atmosphere is so tense, if Elvis walked in with a portion of chips, you could hear the vinegar sizzle on them." Or "There was less noise when Pompeii was swamped in lava! Absolute pandemonium here! Barmaids are frozen like Greek statues watching! No beer is being served! Everybody's eyes are absolutely hooked on that dartboard." Or "When Alexander of Macedonia was 33, he cried salt tears as there were no more worlds to conquer... Eric Bristow is only 27." Or "His eyes are bulging like the belly of a hungry chaffinch.".... There are literally 1000s of funny quotes. But it's not just the comments he makes that are funny it's the way he says them . You understand? Anyone could say them lines but only a small number of people can say them and make you laugh hard.
