Nigel Owens reveals the TOUGHEST player he’s had to referee

Popular Welsh referee Nigel Owens has taken charge of the biggest matches the game has to offer including multiple domestic finals, European finals and the Rugby World Cup final back in 2015.

As a result, over his long career, he’s had to deal with a number of challenge players – but who was the toughest?

Thankfully Owens did a brilliant Q&A for WalesOnline a few weeks back and a member of the public asking just that, to which Owens responded.

“There have been quite a few. Austin Healey was definitely one but a penalty and 10 yards against him soon got the message across!” revealed Owens.
