: 26, 2015

On the eve of the biggest game of his life, refereeing the World Cup Final, Nigel Owens is at the pinnacle of his career. Now he reflects upon the pressures of the modern game with the boon and burden of technology, about the private struggle with his own sexuality, coming out and tackling homophobic abuse, and about his love of the game and his family, community and Welshness. The documentary highlights some of Nigel's best known on-field quips and includes contributions from Shane Williams, Sarra Elgan, Jonathan Davies, Eddie Butler and the last Welshman to referee a Rugby World Cup Final in 1991, Derek Bevan.
