Nigel Owens reaches unprecedented milestone

Spirited Welsh referee Nigel Owens will reach his 100th test milestone when he takes charge of the France vs Italy test scheduled for November.

The 49 year old Owens is the most experienced member of World Rugby’s elite international panel.


Since his first taste of international refereeing – on the 2002 Sevens circuit – Owens has, in the past 17 years, refereed a World Cup Final (2015) as well as a number of European Champions Cup finals and has risen as one of the most popular and admired figures in the game today.
