He is talking to a younger generation and sometimes a bit of filth will make it clear as mud. When Nigels on the field refereeing, he is the most ruly chap and fellow. I am surprised he has not been Knighted yet.
I've been watching all the videos of Nigel Owen refereeing and what an incredible, well rounded and genuine man. Unfortunately I've come across this clip. Whoever thought a university was the right venue for his swearing and rude jokes were 100% wrong. Don't get me wrong, I can swear with the best, come on, there's a time and a place and this wasn't either.
It's an event full of staff and uni students having drinks and enjoying themselves, not a year 6 school assembly! How is it anything but appropriate haha
Not bad. But would have been much better, much classier without all that swearing. It's really not necessary - let alone smart - in a man of his age...
+Castle Estate Agents Ltd Have listened to Nigel speak a few times and he is truly brilliant at Public Speaking and adapts to the audience he is facing.... He is also a Stand Up Comedian and brings this element to his talks which involves the language as you point out.... Being in the actual audience the language feels appropriate and not as you perceive, believe it or not....... Its being himself and not pretentious I think......
How disappointing! Nigel is the number one rugby referee. But he shouldn’t accept to give talks like this. He stammered and stuttered his way through. But additionally he kept on swearing which got very little laughs, and he also laboured on about his gay sex. He rammed it down their throats, got no laughs, and missed his punchlines because of his lack of experience. What a disappointment.
Hi Derek, actually what you hear in this video is mostly just the audio feed from his microphone and has no additional microphones in the room. So the quiet cheers and laughs you hear and actually the very loud cheers and laughs that are being picked up by his microphone. All of the sports teams loved to see him and he went down very well. But thank you for your comments
Really a great man not only a great referee. Respect.
Thank you nigel Owens

He's a legendary referree I like him he's awesome

Oh, Nigel, I'm sorry but this in parts is woeful.
The silly screaming by the audience was pathetic.
Talk tidy Nigal. What would your mam say? Keep to refereeing.
wish they'd let him speak, very inappropriate
Not bad.
