Nigel Owens made his RBS 6 Nations refereeing debut in 2007 as England took on Italy. His excellent manner was evident from the start, his communication with the players and the TMO is brilliant. His openness with the players commands respect.
Good luck with the World Cup Final Nigel

Legend ,Nigel Owens best Referee ever !!!
0:30 the scrum would be whistled and a free kick given for England with nowadays rules
this guy is an inspiration to officials in any sport
best ref ever
Nigel is the best
03:51 "unplayable ball, nobody's fault". Err, actually Nigel it was your fault – for blowing too early and not giving the ball a reasonable chance to appear (and the game to continue as it should). Refs in general are way, way too quick to blow up when the ball would probably be appearing in a few seconds more – and, instead of play continuing,we have sometimes minutes of interminable scrum re-sets which, with a little more common sense, wouldn't be needed.
Nigel's style is good for the game. He likes an open, continuous game with no bullshit in between. Not to mention his sense of humour is well received world wide. Refs should follow his lead.
Footballers take note.
best referee in the world, loves a open game
Can we have a video of Nigel Owens convo's with players.. they are all ways fun
