"CHRISTPHER!!!", "Sorry Sir!!!" 🤣🤣🤣 Nigel Owens, best Rugby Ref ever.

Worst day in rugby was the day Nigel Owens retired. The best rugby ref by a long way.

I wish those pampered prat’s in the FA took note of this. Just because players don’t show respect does not mean that they shouldn’t. Rugby has always had the lead on this, fantastic to hear what the referee says and how they handle the communication. First one to have the backbone to do this in football will set the tone and assist the game all the way down to grass root. To the FA I say watch this and learn what respect is and where it starts.

Nigel once saw a lineout throw that went sideways and yelled "I'M STRAIGHTER THAN THAT THROW"

[khaunleper]

You know what you were doing, don't give me them puppy dog eyes...haha

[edsharp]

I don't really watch rugby but I've always really liked Nigel Owens, he really knows how to command the field

[Saicofake]

Amazing how a sport that is deemed ‘rough’ has players and refs that respects each other.

"This is not soccer". Love it. Bodycams and recordings a must in cracking down on the players and managers in professional football who show no respect to referees. Was chairman of a grassroots football club and a coach absolutely hated this part of the professional game. Rugby is on another level in so many positive ways on this topic.

I love how about half this video is just Nigel being Nigel.

[tomshearman]

Utterly fantastic. The vast majority took their punishment apologised and called the ref Sir. Refs were call fair and confident. No mess no fuss. Perfect.

[JulioJordio]

I think its useful for people from countries where rugby isn’t a big deal to understand, that young boys when learning to play are taught to call the ref Sir. You always call a rugby ref Sir. That should tell you everything about how respectful you should be to a ref in rugby.

The urgghh Christopher and sideeye gets me always lol. 'Sorry, Nigel', scampers off, the big tree trunk of a man from the tiny but scary referee.

"I don't think we've met before, but I'm the referee on this field, not you."
GodDAYUM.

4:01 "He was wiped out! Wiped out by Wayne 'The Pipe Cleaner' Barnes, there's barely an ounce of fat on Barnes and he's sent Britts back into last Wednesday"
That's an awesome quote

[BoredInAfrica]

I love how Nigel Owens makes up a good few of the videos here, he really was the greatest ref in rugby

[atheoshk]

Nigel Owens, absolute living legend. Most reasonable, professional referee to have ever existed. The game of rugby has been blessed to have had his service.

[biolf]

The closest thing we had to this standard of refereeing in football was Pierluigi Collina.

[ytv]

Ive only ever watched like one rugby game televised ever, but i loved the idea of a mic'd up referee who was able to keep all these tough guys in line by simply being polite and direct. Lot of respect for those guys as they appear as though they can handle themselves too!

[surfclimbcycle]

4:55 "this is not soccer" lol classic!

[caiotefu]

I love the way Nigel acts like a proper West Wales old school teacher that's dealing with a bunch of sprogs. No nonsense lol!
