TOKYO - Welsh referee Nigel Owens said he was surprised to find his latest quip in the Canada v Italy Rugby World Cup match had become an internet sensation and laughed off suggestions that he practised his lines before matches.
Owens was speaking to Canadian captain Tyler Ardron after a series of offences in the Sept. 26 game in Fukuoka and said: “I won’t give you a second warning. Speak to your side, the next time will be a card...and speak to yourself as well because you’re the one giving away the penalties.”Describing the incident in his column on the Walesonline website, he said: “As I spoke, Tyler looked at me with a bit of cheeky mischief in his eyes.
“As referees, you don’t want to be the talking point after games. If people are talking about the rugby, and what a great game it was full of thrilling tries, you know you’ve done your job properly.
