. A former gymnast who represented Wales at the 1990 Commonwealth Games, Gabby’s sharp sports insight and warm on-screen presence have made her a household name.

Nope. It was his mum, TV royalty Gabby Logan, who accidentally spilled the beans during a newspaper interview.
Keeping It in the Family
Logan, 19, is the son of former Scotland wing and 70-cap legend Kenny Logan, and the apple clearly hasn’t fallen far from the try line. Reuben initially came through the academy at his dad’s former club, Wasps, before joining Northampton Saints in March 2023.
The versatile back made his Franklin’s Gardens debut in the Premiership Cup against Nottingham last November—and even represented England at U18 and U20 level before switching allegiance to Scotland earlier this year.

“Mum, You Had One Job!”

Speaking to The Daily Telegraph, Gabby let the cat out of the bag when discussing a possible family move to Manchester.

“My life is so different now. Reuben is playing for Sale Sharks next season, so I’ll be able to see him, and even Lois asked on our family WhatsApp, ‘Should we just all move to Manchester?’”

We’ve heard of pitch invasions—but WhatsApp family planning might be a first.

Nigel Owens Brutally Ranks Who Was Worst to Ref Between Sexton, Farrell and Biggar

Arguably, the three worst players to deal with these days are Owen Farrell, Dan Biggar and Johnny Sexton.
Owens has had his say on all three, ranking them from worst to best.

#3. Owen Farrell (England)

Farrell, the English rugby captain, epitomizes leadership and respect. Renowned for his versatility as a fly-half or centre, he combines skill and discipline, serving as a linchpin in England's rugby campaigns.
Nigel Owens said: "I can only speak from my own experience of refereeing him and, when I did, he was an excellent captain to deal with.
"I have a huge amount of respect for him as a player and a person. He always knew where the line was with me.
"I would say to him that he could always come and talk to me as long as it was at the right time and in the right tone and he always did that."

#2. Dan Biggar (Wales)

Biggar, the Welsh rugby sensation, is celebrated for his unwavering focus and passion. A prolific fly-half, he has charmed fans with his skill and respect on and off the field.
Owens said: "Oh god yes. He's so focused and so passionate about what he's doing, we've had a few run ins on the pitch down the years.
"I mean, it's always been in a respectful way as we always have a drink and a laugh after the game."

#1. Johnny Sexton (Ireland)

Sexton, the Irish rugby maestro, leads with intelligence and grit. As a world-class fly-half, he's earned his place among the rugby elite through precise decision-making and relentless determination.
Owens on Sexton and Biggar: “I’ll tell you what, they’re probably the best two referees in the world, Dan Biggar and Johnny Sexton, because when you ref them they always think they know more than you!”
Owens also named the referee who would make the best player, as well as the referee who would make the worst player.
“Which referee fancies themselves as the best player? Well, that would be Nic Berry, because he played at the top level for Wasps and [Racing 92] as a very, very talented scrum-half and a very talented referee as well,” Owens said.
