Rugby Referees Compilation #2 - Respect The Ref

Compilation 3 here: • Rugby Referees Compila...
More rugby refs doing what they do best.
The first video received positive feedback, so here's a compilation of the moments that have happened since then and some vids I missed the first time.

[@jarrydhayne5505]

player: *complains referee:*sarcastically says "ive changed my mind now that youve said that" player: *stares at the ref awkwardly then awkardly walks off

[@mollyking365]

“Ah....Christopher” raises eyebrow “Sorry sir” “Thank you” That’s fucking priceless! 😂 it gets me every time

[@jackmehoffe9372]

You're right. Perfect display of public school prefect obedience

[@montagneresmontagneres8346]

@@jackmehoffe9372 more like parental obedience...

[@HunterofArtemis234]

"Christopher..." "Sorry Sir" "Thank you" That ref be out here talking like my mom. Love it

[@SacredSkeleton12]

nigel owens is just.. nigel owens

[@406xTothicwaste]

4:08 "And he's looking for something in his pocket..." Made the poor player's heart skip a beat xD

[@ahriman935]

+Toth Mendius Hahaha, that moment cracked me up, I'm wondering if he did it on purpose or it just happened.

[@jodidoherty4932]

Ref pulling out a tissue at 4.20 - he knew what he was doing!

[@tafftastic]

Nigel Owens - world's best rugby ref. And I'm English..

[@stevomuck]

+Pfffffft Luckily we get him reffing our match on Saturday vs France.

[@SomeBritishGal1]

+Pfffffft Unfortunately, he's Welsh!

[@galinor7]

+Pfffffft and Wayne Barnes and Craig Joubert are the worst.

[@boatymcboatface6969]

He's neutral and he does his job. Barnes is a shifty f*cker.

[@refsmithy]

Nigel Owens is just brilliant!

[@michaelwallace8861]

Mr Owens! You absolute legend. 'I don't want to make a big thing about this' brings all 30 players in for headmasters naughty boys talk. LoL

[@rekt9416]

Err Christopher?? "Sorry" hahahaha

[@mattybhoy6522]

Sounds like a disgruntled principal lol

[@eireabu347]

Get everybody in here. Get everybody in here

[@PWALPOCO]

And in the blink of an eye you know you've gone too far and the headmaster has had enough ...

[@philipwilson46]

That should be Sorry Sir

[@dannywhite132]

the best thing is that the ref talks to the captain's. the captain's respect the ref and the players respect the captain's. it all just works

[@timoschneider5915]

Daniel White i like this process. in footbal (soccer) they should enforce this behaviour.

[@benjaminsidneykidd-bentley3966]

Yea football (or Soccer) needs new rules like this in a massive way.

[@awinbisa]

Indeed. In football what does the captain actually do? There seems to be no point at all. The manager screems Instructions, the captain takes no leadership

[@ElTiBo44]

Exactly! Best officiating in any sport.

[@nickshelton8423]

Hockey has something similar to this too for big plays

[@voetbal12]

Rugby refs get respect because they give it. They're consistent, hear the players out instead of yelling at them to go away or dismissing their concerns, and they calmly explain their decisions.

[@MaybuTron]

It's also instilled from the very start of a player's career. It's drilled into the youngest of players that the referee is right, even when he gets it wrong, his word is final. It's a tough lesson to have a penalty against you being moved 10m closer to your try line for arguing with the ref.

[@Buffalohomer]

it's true what you say here, I had a referee in our local mini football league that explained everything he was whistling for and it was an absolute joy to play under these circumstances. There is too little communication between many referees and players in football.

[@MrSatrianeo11]

it is all about putting it right at grassroot level... n it becomes a culture....

[@Mzansi74]

The football stadium is 500 yards that way. classic!

[@darraghmcdonald9719]

Joe Soap my whole family was watching that match and we all cracked up. He's such a controlling ref

[@Leifr952]

Tedious, more like.

[@danielwarren5881]

The size of these players but they look like schoolboys when the ref is telling them off.

[@nemianyamele2265]

+Daniel Warren ...and then there's football...

[@242jams]

"urr.. christopher!" hahahahah

[@shishirba]

I´ve changed my mind now that you say that :D

[@Gomes862]

That was hilarious.

[@philipsimson3040]

shishirba I will use that frase next time i ref :D Best reply ever :D

[@rhymeocerous]

Wish Nigel Owens could be cloned. The game will be poorer when he calls it a day.

[@snxc1627]

Norfolk Enchants He's a class act. Will be a shame when he calls it quits

[@neildahlgaard-sigsworth3819]

Norfolk Enchants there'll be another one along shortly.

[@skabossJ]

He has quite a few protégés under his wing.

[@TheGreenjacketbilly]

Joe Marler to referee- 'You didnt get knocked out in the World Cup' Referee to Joe Marler - 'I didnt get picked did I?' QUALITY!!

[@warken1985]

Nigel Owens is the MVP - "Wanna touch, do it off the field" LOL

[@williambrown4588]

Warren Kent I think he said 'cutch' which is a Welsh thing, "if you want to cuddle do it off the field." Perfect way to handle those lads!!

[@warken1985]

masterful xD

[@stevenmiles4191]

Cwtch is the welsh for cuddle

[@liamlangley6241]

It's cwtch (pronounced clutch) and it means cuddle in welsh

[@WaltTFB]

'If you want to cutch, do it off the field' Marvellous.

[@Danlows1]

I thought it was spelled cwtch? It’s welsh for cuddle/hug, right?

[@WaltTFB]

@@Danlows1 It is, and it should indeed. I'll refrain from a sneaky edit...

[@jwgolf5442]

oh man... when that ref trolls out the other team by taking out a tissue instead of a card hahahaha 😂😂😂

[@OplegendBoss]

"We haven't been introduced but, I'm the ref." Nigel Owns 2014

[@taranavara8672]

Yesssss I love how some referees a calm and to the point and how they know what to say without hesitation.

[@Andrew-is7rs]

Owens is the best ref out there. Pure class

[@sarahnicole736]

“Ah Christopher.” “Sorry Sir” 😂 love it

[@harrycook5140]

When Nigel goes "er Christopher" 😂😂

[@levitch]

Calls everyone in "I dont want to make a big deal about this...." lol

[@khangoor]

nice compilation. however I'd like to see the situations that led referees to enforce the law the way they did.

[@DevinZA]

Hi, I see what you mean, and I would have liked to add the moments as well, but it would have made the video far to lobg.

[@AUSTDOG1]

+DevinZA Be worth it though

[@JohnyTuff1]

Then cut it short and make more videos. We get to see the incident, and you get more views. Win win.

[@MrWinter2000]

Diced for

[@sassyzen45]

I'm surprisingly enjoying these ref compilations. Much thanks from Manila!

[@andyt2k]

The big thing about officiating rubgy matches is the team captains involvement, they get explained what the issue was and to pass on the judgement to their team and to explain why and what to fix for the rest of the game. In football you almost never see this, in Rugby being the captain is a big deal and refs hold them responsible for their team

[@drknurrhahn5196]

Oh I've changed my mind, now you said that What a prankster ✔️

[@emporerwang5149]

Best Refs are welsh ! Great compilation - Don't ever mess with the Ref !

[@MKRM27]

There is one good Welsh ref. There are lots of average ones. A few shite ones.

[@harrywakeford5554]

Emporer Wang don't mess with welsh people atalll

[@sassyzen45]

I'm awfully enjoying these ref compilations. Thanks much from Manila!

[@mrjules2008]

I like the fair play in Rugby. I can't help thinking it's due to its private school roots but it warms my heart to see these huge men offer a handshake and always respect the ref.

[@Radianxe]

rugby's refs are awesome

[@sashasguitarcovers5921]

I like how you can here the refs. This would be great for football.

[@Mzansi74]

It was introduced in South Africa in the 1980's. The name given to it was "Field Ears".

[@Mzansi74]

+Martin de Lange In Rugby Union.

[@cringewithit]

you couldn't do it in football, because the the officials don't want the public to know how much abuse the referees get

[@sashasguitarcovers5921]

naki tara That would be better, expose the players, give them bans.

[@MKRM27]

+naki tara It's the refs fault that they get abuse in football. They should have sorted it out years ago.

[@Danlows1]

“If you want to cwtch, do it off the field.” For those that aren’t welsh, cwtch is welsh for cuddle/hug. 🤣😂

[@antoniohenriquepadua5461]

I had no idea there was so much respect towards refs in this sport. A lot of discipline in the players. Really... this is something great to watch.

[@dominiccarver7816]

The refs are like the good teachers, they might be strict, but they're fair

[@emilypeck6929]

Reminds me of my Year 4 art teacher, Mr Batt. He taught me respect is mutual, and while he was strict, he was always fair with his judgements. He was definitely the best teacher I have ever had

[@csmith6583]

Rugby is such a violent yet classy sport you got to love it

[@liamofarrell7751]

Collin Smith violent?

[@Danlows1]

It’s not violent per se. Violence is defined as using force in a way that is uncontrolled or excessive, usually attempting to cause pain or injury. It’s a very forceful sport, but when done properly, it should never be violent.

[@ElliotG89]

The best one is the George Ford one.. too many players these days appealing to the ref making it like football. Put in his place there

[@Ramdodge582]

i miss playing this game, too old now. way more respect and sportsmanship then american football.

[@acchaladka]

Ram-n_dodge +1

[@sebby007]

Uhm, Christopher?!?

[@arielgonzalez5296]

Sorry, sir.

[@canudigitsuker]

i love what Jonathan Davies says at the end ''might take his gloves out here now, point a finger''

[@Struggle.Snuggles]

I really wish all referees would be like this, especially in Hockey, Football and Soccer

[@noDice07]

Billie Underhill soccer and football XD

[@MKRM27]

Soccer and football are the same thing.

[@whnook]

This is a game that procures a large percentage of it's players from private schools. That is the main reason why the ref is shown more respect.

[@ryanb1950]

Rugby started off as a sport for high class snobs. Football was for the lower class

[@noDice07]

ryanb snobs or not other sports should follow

[@neilgriffiths6427]

Fantastic "You're adults, you're gonna be treated like it."

[@richardspikman7116]

Respect for all these guys.

[@AllyourBase3]

I don't watch Rugby but god I wish we had this kind of respect and interaction for football offficials

[@devanman7920]

its possibly one of my favourite things about rugby! None of the shite like in soccer where everyone surrounds the ref arguing! Captains and team respect the ref and the game works!!

[@yackfou2412]

Rugby isn‘t all about money - that‘s why their referees give respect and earn respect.

[@maletavulu7352]

Nigel Owens.. Best Ref ever...and that's coming from a Kiwi!! 😉

[@huwowen2899]

"Wanna have a cwtch, have it off the field" *I'm in stitches*

[@chrisporritt2833]

When Nigel Owens says "Christopher"! Even I say sorry

[@naveensilva2312]

@3:07 is perfect, seriously has yelling at the refs ever changed a decision?

[@tombouchon6950]

Nigel Owens, best ref all times.

[@davidparker890]

Some of these guys are 20 stone of aggression and muscle facing down a 12 stone referee. They take it like men.

[@noeldown1952]

what I love about these compilations is the almost complete absence of NZ teams. Why? Because they are disciplined and because they actually do respect the refs.

[@eldavido4503]

yeah, they just fucking assault each other off the pitch and get away with it

[@gregorymacdonald4620]

NZ are just as bad as everyone else, just for example a NZ player has the title "Most penalised player of 2015 world cup". So to base NZ on the basis "they aren't in the compilations, therfore they are better than other teams" is not correct.

[@noeldown1952]

Gregory MacDonald I was talking specifically about respecting the ref. In that regard I believe we are better. Definitely better than the Northern Hemisphere.

[@gregorymacdonald4620]

Ok understood, as a whole your national team is better than most in that regard.

[@MKRM27]

Er... you've missed the point. This is a compilation of videos where respect is shown to the referee... should be full of NZ examples, if your assertion were true.

[@tobybarker6808]

I like these uploads, but I wish we could see the incidents themselves as well.

[@marklesparkle729]

you won't see this in the aussie NRL.. #hotheads great video!

[@Asthfghl]

4:13 oops! It's his handkerchief. HAHAHA!

[@BrooksMT23]

5:13 who knew that Hugh Jackman refereed rugby??

[@Qtree10]

I had a game last year where I foot tripped a player. I had a broken hand from earlier in the game and couldn't use it. When the ref was getting ready to give me a red I said sorry to him that many times I got off with a yellow. Respect the man he will respect you

[@JWB86]

"you wanna cwtch do it off the field." hahaha

[@SickRedApple]

"By the strict letter of the law, a punch is foul play.." - what even is rugby 😂

[@gunamerstravels]

The plane of touch one 2:13 What is the current law for that scenario?

[@Fishpasta4]

That's the thing about Nigel Owens, he's never angry, he's just disappointed.

[@Lurre10Channel]

I had a referee in a football/soccer match who gave my team an incorrect corner, so a player from the other team walked up to him, angry as hell going: "But I never fucking touched it!!!" and the referee, stone cold goes: "Well it looked that way, what am I gonna do?" and the player was speechless.

[@Leifr952]

Snore

[@edcmetaldetectingedcmetald697]

l like nigel Owens he's is a excellent referee I like his funniest remarks

[@leroyoneill1929]

I love both rugby and football and wish football would take a leaf out of Rugby's book and have only the captains are allowed to talk to the ref and the captains look keep the players in check. ps im not 100% up on all rugby rules but have been watching the 6 nations for 6-7 years now. fantastic sport. Some rugby refs make mistakes as some football refs are just cheats. Craig Thomson. 😂😂

[@Leifr952]

Please explain how exactly a football referee can cheat. They are not on either team and do not stand to gain anything from their decisions, so how are they cheats? Think you need to look up the term.

[@RY0404]

4:09 that's my coach, Mr. Buxton

[@gregoryleroy5646]

Nigel owens"this is embarrassing guys...if you want to touch get off the field"

[@TheDante322]

I would like to know what happen at the last one

[@pradaman307]

I hate rugby-i'm a football fan through and through but i have total respect for the way rugby players respect the referee's. I so wish Footballers did. Well done you lot

[@MKRM27]

I hate football, I'm a rugby fan. Hate pretty much everything about football... worst thing - you can't have a pint on the terraces.

[@ryanb1950]

MKRM27 fuck off

[@jarrydhayne5505]

+MKRM27 hahahahaha

[@neilgriffiths6427]

Can't forgive the rugby comment, but spot on about football - my dad played in the 1950's, he'd be disgusted over the way football refs have lost control.

[@dylancotton2061]

Neil Griffiths we need a good strict ref in football. They're all too scared to give cards

[@markhabb5674]

Nigel owens- if you wonna cwtch do it off the field 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 ledgend

[@Fez8745]

I like how the ref is taking the comments of the Linesman as Fact as well. and immediately penalizes. 2:35

[@kanyespastor5888]

Nigel had etzebeth shaking hahaha

[@deepshriva]

Rugby refs are badass.. These beast of player get scolded like small boys by mom😂😂😂😂

[@GeniusLad32]

3:00 The stare of a disappointed parent

[@mahinaoterangi93]

At 1:19 I love that laugh haha

[@paulyf.107]

Cool!

[@geezer1471]

3:00 "christopher" lol

[@davewilson9738]

Rugby can teach football how to act and manage its game.

[@ToBe0rNotToBe1]

It's all about game management. Football isn't a rough sport and isn't based on aggression. The refs in rugby have to be respected for the sake and safety of the players.

[@alZiiHardstylez]

4:10 - dats 1 cheeki bugger

[@finnthomas1235]

“Wanna cutch? Leave it off the field”

[@arthurchannell4426]

Have a word!

[@danryyu9638]

Nigel Owens is the unofficial king of Wales, But yeah, even when I played like, MEGA MINOR LEAUGE Rugby you never fucked with the Refs, They take Zero shit and will fire back when shouted at, only THEY can send you off.

[@EmilyRose93146]

Who was the ref at 3:08?

[@MaThista91]

03:03 is the best XD

[@TheHostel17]

could somebody explain me why the referee gave red card to the player #19 red at 4:00?

[@johnathonwaggoner358]

Player lead with the head and made contact with the head, making it an automatic red card for reckless play and player safety issues I think.

[@paulgough2]

if you wanna cwtch , do it off the field :) nice 1 nigel owens

[@pilchtastic]

Some volume would be nice bro

[@tommidd5637]

Christopher!

[@davenathan2002]

04.10 world class trolling.

[@michaelfalkner1186]

That Scarlets "You having a fucking laugh" one: That better not have been the Scarlets captain he was talking to, because, had it been, if I, as the official, had gotten that report and they couldn't pick out who did it, I send off the captain (with two in the bin already), as he is unable or unwilling to control his side. Let the Tribunal or Disciplinary Committee deal with the afters.

[@christopherderycke3603]

Nigel Owens “Christopher!”. Ultimate respect

[@Msrosy145]

Nigel Owens if you want to cwtch (Welsh for cuddle/hug) wait till after the game lmao 🤣😂🤣😂🤣💖🤣💖 priceless 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@StFidjnr]

4:15 that 'something' is not a ref book that has 2 card

[@JWHerdy]

only NHL might have this level of respect for officials

[@sashasguitarcovers5921]

Very respectful sport, it seems, compared to football.

[@romelnegut2005]

It is.

[@Leifr952]

Football is full of respect. It's just not as widely broadcast as in rugby. Anyway, why bring up football on a rugby video? All you're doing is exposing rugby's collosal inferiority complex.

[@dmfcnl]

Nice ones! Next time please normalise the sound of the movies before you stitch them together.

[@heleng5253]

Who is the first ref?

[@alexw5085]

That's Wayne Barnes. His other job is a barrister.
