@Obelisk1990 Well if you had some knowledge of the worlds sports you would know that there were other sports which can use the Foot + Ball equation.
In my country, we play probably the most popular sport here, Gaelic Football. In Australia, aussie rules, in America, NFL. There are probably another few around the world which are football too. Again this supports my statement. So many more sports that use football as the most common term.

@THEIRISHVL97DIMIR No I'm not a Brit. And it's called common sense. Foot + ball = football!

Penalising Botes for shouting? Is this even in the laws of rugby? Owens is crazy!!! I can understand there has to be a central figure and that is owens but seriously this is just plain sad!!!

Like a boss

@Obelisk1990 Another ignorant Brit? When will ye learn that almost every other country have their own version of football, we call it soccer because in our countries we have another sport we refer to as football. The world does not revolve around Britain and soccer fans.

Awesome, Nigel for a knighthood for services to discipline and humour.
-
Nigel Owens you absolute legend!
-
love it when nigel owens talks to them like they are school children, still probably the best referee in the world, despite all the bullshit to do with the samoan match
-
Serious respect for this sport now. Football should be like this.

Obelisk1990 - Whichever code of football you play in the UK surely you must know that Rugby Football is often abbreviated as Rugby and then further to Rugger. Association abbreviates to Soccer. For those who call the more manly game football they have to have a name for the version that is only football by association. Simple really.
I'm Not A Rugby Fan But This Has To Be Introduced Into Football!!

@wo0dy1 We were talking dives not hand balls but some how you can't understand that which is pretty hilarious, I also MADE IT CLEAR that 2nd guy that I was deliberately being ignorant about stamina in the convo I had with the 1st guy because the 1st guy was ignorant which he has understood but it seems like you didn't. You calling anyone an "airhead" or "narrow minded" is like Valuev calling Hussien Bolt slow. I thought I was so clear, ah I'm not going to insult you it would be hopeless.
