Welsh referee Nigel Owens is one of the most popular figures in the sport today.
This morning he refereed Italy vs. Canada – and a lot of fans on social media were calling for him to referee every game at the tournament.
We have to say we agree!
Can we all take a moment and appreciate that Nigel Owens is probably the best referee of any sport? #rugbyworldcup2019 #RWC19

Low-key wish @WorldRugby could just take the referees budget and give it all to Nigel Owens, you can always trust a Welshman @SquidgeRugby #ssrugby #RugbyWorldCup

Watch Nigel Owens MBE referee the current Rugby World Cup match between ITA and CAN. A diminutive, Welsh Male Voice choir singer commands the respect of the players and controls everything on the pitch.
