Referee Nigel Owens tells off 30 grown men

[plums547]

funny how the officials never seen anything yet the are sponsored by specsavers

[progfan71]

Priceless!

[Lavadude13]

Ahahaha yes Nigel Owens!!! U can tell he's a comedian at times, sometimes a little dodgey but overall id say a good ref. Remember another fight before, he waited for it to calm down then just commented 'Ok lads? U all put ur handbags and stilletos away then? Good, now lets get on with the game shall we?' hahaha superb at times

[MrPorkydanjou]

Best ref in the world, and im English!!!

[Lavadude13]

@MrPorkydanjou See i like Barnes, and im welsh :P

[MrPorkydanjou]

@Lavadude13 Haha! Doh! Grand Slam you think this year? Dont know what to make of the French as per usual, can turn upto play or not be arsed..i think Wales will do it!

[Lavadude13]

@MrPorkydanjou Whoa hard to tell butt, I dont expect an easy game at all but France may be extremely tired after 4 weeks on the trot... thus far im not too impressed by them but saying that Wales havent been magnificent either, although it seems every team has upped their game for us. Personally both my head and heart say we'll GS it this year, if it was in France id be either way but not in Cardiff... cant wait I love rugby days in the capital

[MrPorkydanjou]

@Lavadude13 I agree! We English talk about ' Fortress Twickenham' but I have been to the Millenium and seen our side get spanked too often by Wales, 'Fortress Cardiff' me thinks! No as long as your team keep playing as you are then the grand slam is in the bag!

[badongdi]

lol it sounds like he is commenting too

[Kaos77Kisame]

He used to teach in my secondary school, and my school's full of immature twats.

[44gumulog44]

Grown men ? You mean ANIMALS rugby is amazing !

[Matttonna]

[1fatdan]

[cvhashim]

[Jamesrs7]

Whatta legend Referee

[MrErn13]

[Iwebb9]

[TheMojaveWasteland]

@Iwebb9 It takes a fag to know a fag.

[Iwebb9]

@TheMojaveWasteland Left my account logged in with a friend nearby. I'm a big rugby fan, and he is a wanker.

[GWLAD]

[vincentjurg]

Thumbs up if this is gonna be the top comment.

[reyman12341]

mr owens, i don't like you.

[DevilBoyDoc]

I think union is the hardest game to reff in the world. There's just so much to watch on and decide on and not much time in which to do it.

[Qwonnyy]

hi tumblr

[boeing7097]

what a boss :D

[tiziara02]

that's a good ref hahahahaha <3

[OFrazzle]

it was 29 men

[Hibbsie1992]

The only thing is he cant referee a game to save himself

[Fliper2K7]

legend.. this is what football needs!

[RonBurgundy161]

What a man, he doesn't fuck about.

[LynoLFC]

Superb!

[b33r92]

How Tavis Knoyle's tackle wasn't the tackle of the seasons I'll never know.

[davidmator]

Nigel Owens f**ks the World!!!!! hahahaha Best ref in the World!!!!

[mattyy2009]

@davidmator he's actually one of the worst refs in the world.

[yaknbo]

@mattyy2009 Who's better? Asking...

[Raichu234]

haha lol :) Brilliant reffing!

[booyacash]

"I think he must be cold" Priceless!

[robbybobson1892]

"i dont want to make a fuss out of this"...errrr

[whiteholedy88]

Best referee in the sport.

[elusyvVEEKAY]

1:28 - i think he must be cold ? hahaaa

[SamoaMoSamoa537]

being in the middle of 30 grown men having a scuffle is nigel's dream come true.

[benrfc]

@SamoaMoSamoa537 easy joke

[newland50]

Nigel is not outspoken But he likes to speak And loves to be spoken to Nigel is happy in his world

[chanctonbury63]

All this silly pushing and shoving is just the dying embers of our old friend, the punchup. Long gone are the days when you could sort your problems out without the ref, cards and citing commissions. Shame really

[Outlawzand1]

@chanctonbury63 The punchup is still alive and thriving in the NRL.

Watch a State of Origin match and you are almost guaranteed an all in brawl.

[mattyy2009]

@Outlawzand1 let's be honest, it's the only reason we watch the game :P

[Outlawzand1]

@mattyy2009 Rugby League is simplistic compared to Union, but theres alot

of physicality.

[mattyy2009]

@Outlawzand1 I meant it's the reason we watch the State of Origin game, guaranteed a punch-up at some point.

[Outlawzand1]

@mattyy2009 Oh right yeah. Do you live in the Southern hemisphere?

[mattyy2009]

@Outlawzand1 Yep, down in the UK, London area so not much emphasis on League. Union is definitely my sport but I always tune in for the SoO game. Went to see the recent internationals too.

[Outlawzand1]

@mattyy2009 You guys have the Olympics to focus on anyway.

Looking forward to it.

And im prety sure they got 7's rugby in the Olympics as well! :D

[77quiqui]

waw como hiso........locos

[HaydnM35]

Gayboy living out a fantasy.

[benrfc]

@HaydnM35 weak

[benrfc]

@HaydnM35 Ok mate...but we don't want to hear about your day

[jubert870]

fucking hate it wen the top comment is a REPLY....arghhhhhhh

[Topcat9H]

@jubert870 'Nothing beats an angry Welshman'

[db0255]

@jubert870 France did.

[ScottNScozzyTV]

I find it EXTREMELY ironic how the sponsor is specsavers

[Museite]

@ScottNScozzyTV I know! I think that's the point, nothing beats some smart marketing there :D

[RubasJLeone]

Damn!!! You gotta love rugby! You don't see this level of respect in ANY other sport!

[N1ghtstar4]

Sean o brien wouldve killed the whole pack

[DjLethal173]

What was a Welshman doing reffing a match that involved a Welsh team???

[CaffeinGaming]

@DjLethal173

what was a frenchman doing reffing the wales vs. france match during the semi finals of the world cup?...

[MrLjkh]

@CaffeinGaming... for one you're twisting it; he's not a "frenchman", he just has a french father. Secondly, this avoids the grossly unfair situation of having a referee who can only speak the language of one of the teams. Not being able to speak the language of the referee is a lot worse than Alain Rolland refereeing when you're playing France; he's a completely impartial ref in all games, and probably would be even if he refereed Ireland

[CaffeinGaming]

@MrLjkh the point is, he still has french blood within him. he is also irish. these two factors should have been noted before the game, before making a biased and unjust decision. Wales did not loose because france were better than them because france had played shit during their whole world cup campaign this year. Wales had lost due to the referee making a poor decision. would you hire a referee who had very strong connections between either team? no. you wouldn't.

[MrLjkh]

@CaffeinGaming Don't see how the fact that he's Irish should be noted before giving him the France-Wales game. It wasn't a biased decision; Sam Warburton admitted as much himself. Your decision to ignore the gross injustice of having a ref who can speak the language of only one team is far more biased

[CaffeinGaming]

@MrLjkh

so, the Irish have just been beat, and there is a referee who is part french refereeing the match?... this isn't under 16's junior rugby. this shout have been noticed. Sam Warburton had said that for PR. to get people off the referees back. so when he's speaking the french teams language, without translating it to the welsh team, that's perfectly ok?....

[CorporalAlex]

@MrLjkh WRU supporter, and completely with you regarding Rolland. I thought the red card was a bad call (I'd have only given a yellow), but not malicious, and within the letter of the law. Warburton's maturity over the incident, and that Wales played as well as they did with their skipper absent, is to their immense credit.

I'm all for pointing out bad decisions (and a bit of cathartic venting ;) ); but at the end of the day, you respect the ref's authority, dust yourself off, and move on...

[layziebone111]

what a fucking tool

[123445706]

cowardly scarlets number 9

[ieuan2008]

@123445706 Tavis knoyle is deffinately not a coward. He is a bit of a monster 

[TheDutchington]

"I think he must be cold" brilliant!!

[TopRugbyLad]

Nigel Owens. Best Referee in current times!

[AwsmPntsAlchmst]

I just liked the for the title.

[knacker92]

nice gimp suit nigel has on there... must be for the sheep later

[siwooot]

well when two players have a fight, the ref pulls them aside with the captain and talks to them, in this case the whole teams were in it so he had to talk to the whole teams lol

[0ct0parr0t]

difference with Rugby is that the players actually respect the referee

[MRGURUSTEVE]

lol legendary guy

[cochgwynagwyrdd]

Nigel Owens, LEGEND

[maiavaa]

WTF ?? ahahaha ? rugby huddle ... yes dad !

[kiwiboy1]

Irony a referee is sponsored by a glasses company. wonder if he gets a good deal?

[ozzzyman8]

what is Nigel wearing??

[ThreeCodesOfRugby]

i think he's getting cold lol

[svpjef]

Nigel Owens loves the attention, he is an open homo-sexual.. He's thinking of taking 30 cocks in his mouth right now LOL

[Raichu234]

he used to be a standup comedian! HAHA love OWENS! :)

[evanpwell]

@Raichu234 yeah and tried to kill himself

[spoofinkids3]

Is it just me but at 2:00 someone gets DDTed?

[jordyswanboii]

Legend of a bloke :D

[warahi56]

what a knob



[meskell02]

@GuerillaGanja Irish accent makes me sick. :)

[vorgaphe]

Lets have a chat...

[thetopofthelist]

lets hope for another one of those in the world cup final

[iluvmusicqwe]

I hate this ref hes such a drama queen whats the point of this

[snico]

@iluvmusicqwe the point is he is showing the players respect and they show it to him.....this should be adopted to all sports, especially football.

[zisssssou]

i hate this ref

he always put himself in scene and he is a biased towards celts teams

i remember a ireland-france in the 2009 6N in croke park... he waited the 72th minute to give the 1st penalty to france, no comment.

[datiki]

@zisssssou We still won though. Made that ref shut up =P

[mndpsp1]

that is classic haha!

[roadraper53]

beautiful tackle sob

[Olyy]

@roadraper53 High and after the whistle - It's only beautiful if you like cheap shots.

[johnnytanini]

Owens should not be reffing. Rugby is not a game for faggots.

[Tehzor1]

@johnnytanini You Sir are a disgrace.

[nonrealist]

Love it... I wish football refs had this authority.

[cloudsymph]

fucking hate nigel owens. you know what just northern hemisphere refs in general.

[rugbyvagrant7]

one of the many dignities that separates rugby from football

[mikebandit12]

1 :10 onwards, commentary had me on the floor...

[rhysvw]

Brilliant bit of humilation what they deserved

[qamarbilalsyed]

He Looks Like a Coach

[salmig99]

Nothing beats an angry Welshman :-)

[nnniiiaaallllll]

@salmig99 France did.

[arwalesagain]

@nnniiiaaallllll *Alain Rolland

[MikeResoli]

@nnniiiaaallllll Can't really call it beaten... Alain Rolland who's father is French and I believe his mother is Irish was picked to referee the game. Coincidence that Wales had beaten the Irish a week before? Coincidence that a Welsh player was sent off within the first quarter of the match, all because the Frenchman milked his 'injury' and made it seem worse than reality? I THINK NOT.

[clevelandsteamland]

@nnniiiaaallllll Cunt. Blatantly English.

[gavmcguinness8024]

Nigel Owens is my favorite ref (irish)

[bobcoolbobyeah]

@gavmcguinness8024 hes welsh

[gavmcguinness8024]

@bobcoolbobyeah I know that! I was saying that I'm Irish and I still love the chaps style of reffing.

[DrummerDudeization]

@videoinspectorguy thats how you pronounce it, you fucking dumbass

[CarlosAntonioBrown]

I think he must be cold!

[LiquidReason]

"Lets have a chat isit?" ledge!!! :L

[HaydnM35]

That man should have been yellowed, I shouted so many words I didn't know I knew that evening at Parc Y Scarlets.

[cummo666]

Does anyone else see the irony in the referees being sponsored by specsavers?

[meskell02]

@cummo666 That's the point :)

[bodommed666]

that refrees got balls mann!! :P

[MrJayO1986]

It would be funny if they all gang banged Nigel!

[MrCrusty01]

Sean obrian would take them all on

[LunchtimeLoonies]

@MrCrusty01 ....and then get bummed.

[videoinspectorguy]

peenalized at 0:32

[killdeslm]

Alain Rolland best ref

[fattwat1]

best ref in the game and he is gay

[vinnielillis1990]

how is this fair its a welsh team and a welsh referee

[C24B9]

@vinnielillis1990 in Nigel's case, he can be fair. the guy is a pain in the rump to players on both sides of the irish sea! But, yeah, I'd avoid that, just for appearances, too. George Clancy (Irish ref) is another one I'd trust, rather implicitly.

[ianrees2]

@vinnielillis1990 Irish refs do irish teams in Ireland and Scots up there , so Welsh refs do Welsh sides when at home

[newlandsfaithful]

I love how he calls EVERYONE in

[ryko26]

Brilliant ref

[moffster]

Didn't see the incident. Sponsored by Specsavers

[moddy121]

There Welsh and Irish I can understand why the ref has done it.

[TheCelticmaori]

no matter how much disagreement we may have with each other, at the end of the day we have respect for the players, fans, games and rules!

[XxXgleek2k10]

Haha whoo go Nigel owens haha

[coffer97]

did you guys see that cunt of a scrumhalf blinside dominic ryan? i did

[owencoch]

Tavis Knoyle you genius!

[ounce2314]

Why u need to talk to captain when u can talk to entire team lol

[ecullen249]

It's even funnier because the ref isWelsh :P

[nankoful]

Nice ref

[MrKozz96]

they're all pussys what kind of faggot fight is that

[rugbyking32]

@MrKozz96 more of a fight than you will ever be in

[llagin1234]

i love this FOOTBALL REFEREES take note please enforce this use common sense the referee (im in charge end of discussion) well done mr owens

[justinwales1]

there are some pathetic comments on here! This is what makes Rugby great and soccer could learn so much, did you see the players cry whinge or stamp their feet - no! good on you Nigel good to see the ref in charge!

[kitcho182]

refs thinking there bigger then the game

[Darraghk43]

why the fuck are the fans booing , if i was there i'd think it was really funny

[zander1997100]

now that's how rugby players fighting should be treated on a rugby pitch....

[trixter1996]

welsh rugby pah

[nrjelley]

@trixter1996 Leinster aren't Welsh. Shows how much you know about rugby!

[trixter1996]

@nrjelley

I was referring to Welsh rugby in general, not this game. And I happen to support Leinster and come from Leinster. Now fuck off.

[rubberlegged]

@trixter1996 oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooh

[nrjelley]

@trixter1996 Yeah and how many times have Ireland won the Six Nations? Now fuck off!

[tedudeskin]

Seany would fuck up David Lyons.

[TheRivulator]

"lets have a chat" ROFLMAO

[sumboyo]

owens is a complete joke, and proved it many time this year....

liability.... timebomb...

[johnnytanini]

Nigel needs to understand that rugby is not a game for faggots



[Oprey22]

@johnnytanini Nigel has forgotten more about rugby than you will ever know. But you are clearly insecure about your own sexuality.

[LUPIDI]

fantastic...

[pete88oz]

what.

a.

hero.

[GreyknightV6]

Wow, the Nigel Owens show... that makes a change now doesn't it. Bloke is a liability.

[MrFijigold123]

hhahahahahaahahahaha

[BoboBenny]

Absolutely superb refereeing

[JustinRSoles]

"Lets have a chat issit?" lol
