Popular rugby referee Nigel Owens has gone viral for his cheeky response to a Six Nations fan who didn’t like his opinion on Jonny May’s Superman-like try.
One fan didn’t agree with the Welshmans’ verdict, tweeting: “This is why you’ve always been a w**k ref”.
Nigel Owens soon responded by saying: “It’s a shame your father didn’t have a w**k instead.”
He then added: “Not only do we have a responsibility in what we say, we sometimes have more of a one if we stand by and say nothing.”
