I wish you'd post more of these, Tommy. I admire the way you actually listen to your guests and ask questions that make them open up and give an incite into their experiences.
Could not give a flying F, what way he swings, he was a good Ref. I still watch his commentary on UA-cam and value his opinion. He calls it as it is and is always right.
Such a pity that people only seem to focus on his sexuality. For me he is first and foremost one of the best refs ever to grace the rugby field. Kudos.
@@22grena well not that, this show is about tommy interviewing people without knowing who he is interviewing beforehand, nigel is most well known outside of rugby for this
Nigel Owens can be very funny on the field too. There are highlights videos getting around, but my favourite is his response to a mouthy player carrying on and trying to say what should happen: "We haven't met before, but I'm the referee." 🤣
An absolute gentleman and he speaks so much sense . Also the best referee of my generation by a mile …. Nigel’s respect among the players says it all 🏉👍
Owen is such a clear spoken, rational guy! He speaks from the heart about something that is very difficult when a person is growing and trying to figure out who they are. I was always lucky, straight, ordinary- no mysteries here. But I had friends that wouldn't just SAY it- and until they did, their lives were on hold- and our friendships didn't grow either. I've since moved and often wondered if those people(guys and girls) ever came out to anyone and embraced a full life.
Igel is the best ref ever in my humble opinion, to hear what he had to go through for so many years makes me feel embarrassed about how society judges people. Absolutely blown away by his honesty and integrity, keep rocking legend ❤
Great referee that one interaction he had with the England Forward where he just said "Christopher" and arched his eyebrows and scowled a bit at him which caused the player to say "Sorry Sir" and walk away. Society could learn from Rugby - we need our leaders (Politicians, Police, Clergy) to have integrity and honesty like Nigel did on the field. Once that is achieved we need people to respect that authority, but only when it's earned. Only then will we get the society we deserve
Nigel is the reason i got hooked on rugby ... and now i learned you can overdose on paracetamol just when i though i knew it all :D I'd love to have a pint or 3 at the pub with these 2 blokes
2 legends, the world is better is both of you in it, thank you. P.S Nigel has funnier one liners than you Tommy, and if you wanna say owt, there are a couple of thousand spartans to back up my empty BS
I couldn't care less if hez gay or straight black r blue ......... don't care what gospel he follows couldn't care less.......he wasn't a good referee.....he was possibly the very best ref rugby union has ever ever seen n in that regard sadly sadly missed..... very very much so.....n as a personality very much missed also.......God bless you Mr Owens.........,what a privilege ❤
Lovely interview, teenagers, especially vulnerable teenagers might take something literally though, on the off chance that my words might make a difference to one person, I would caution don't just talk to anyone , talk to someone you can trust enough to confide in, or actually like Nigel says even a stranger who is prepared to listen, but talking to some other teenage 'friend' might not be advisable for any personal issue.
World rugby should have that man as an ambassador for their game. What a wonderful human being.
What a great interview. Nigel's openess and honesty and Tommy's obvious emotion in his eyes. Two lovely people with humour and honesty.
What a gentleman. A great advocate for respect, integrity and fairness.
Well done Nigel, a good honest interview. A great referee. Thank you from Irish Rugby.
wow, this mans openess is breath taking. I was very moved by this interview. thank you, this video feels like a service to people everywhere.
Yes
I've always admired Nigel for his refereeing skills, this interview only increases that admiration. Surely one of rugbys finest .

Lovely guy, Nigel Owens. Strong! He put himself out there for all to see. Much respect.
Great Referee, best ever and a warm and beautiful human being.

Yes homosexuals make it the focus.

@@22grenaI didn’t know Tommy Tiernan was gay!
@@22grenaif only it wasn’t so actively wanting to be found out by people, rather than just letting folk getting on with their lives eh?
And a good farmer

A beautiful man, a brilliant referee and one helluva human being.
What a lovely genuin person Nigel Owens is . I was in bits lisingen to his story as was Tommy fighting back the tears .
An absolute gentleman and he speaks so much sense . Also the best referee of my generation by a mile …. Nigel’s respect among the players says it all 🏉👍
Nigel Owens is impressive. More impressive is Tommy not getting a red card during the interview.

A real stand up guy. THE best rugby referee there ever was.
wow what a gent, i could listen to him all day long,
Nigel you are a mighty man altogether. And a great,charming and funny ref into the bargain.
Thanks Tommy.
Thanks Nigel, both for your good natured & high quality reffing & for speaking of your struggle.

One word.... "Legend"
Great interview. Great referee, he really was the best.

Nothing completely about rugby?
