Nigel Owens reveals the five toughest players to referee, including Maro Itoje
NIGEL OWENS has lifted the lid on his life as a top international referee – and revealed who was the most difficult player to manage in games.
#5. Dan Biggar (Wales)
Owens said: “Oh god yes, Biggar can be a tricky customer on the field.
“He’s so focused and so passionate about what he’s doing no matter the game or occasion, we’ve had a few run ins on the pitch down the years.
“I mean, it’s always been in a respectful way and we always have a drink and a laugh after the game.”
DID YOU KNOW? Biggar has his own routine before kicking goals, which fans now call “The Biggarena” after Los Del Rio‘s 1995 hit, Macarena.
