nigel_owens6666.gifIt all began at the age of 16 when a pupil at Maesyryrfa School in Cefneithin, when I refereed my first ever game. That was 18 years ago and I have now been a professional referee for five years.

I have officiated in more than 20 games in the Heineken Cup and four Internationals - Japan v Ireland was my first and this February I will be refereeing my first ever Six Nations match when England play Italy at Twickenham.

Outside rugby I do entertainment work as a stand-up comedian and singer. I also do television work on a Welsh language programme called 'Noson Lawen', as well as the Jonathan show on S4C with Mr Davies.

My best heckle happened a few seasons ago when one spectator shouted out at a game at Stradey Park: "Owens you're a comedian on the stage but you're a better one on the field!"

Having known Nige from way back (I played in a few of those games he reffed when he was 16) I think he is a great guy and deserves every success as a referee
