There have only been 2 referees in my lifetime that have ever commanded the players. Respect. Collina in soccer and the indominatible mister Nigel! Owens in my humble opinion has been the best ever in any sport. His balance of discipline and humour is exemplary. All players respect him which must be the greatest judge of any sport. Sorry to see you go Nigel, I love listening to your “commentaries”. Please for the benefit of my children and grandchild pass on your talent and humbleness to another generation! 🙏👏

What's funny about a superb referee doing his job? I just love Nigel's knowledge of the game, his ability to defuse situations, and to make his point about a player TO the player without fuss, voice-raising or finger-wagging histrionics. My favourite: "What part of "Wait" don't you understand?"
