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.
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. I realised that as I was telling him this, he had been the one actually committing the offences."People ask me if I practise these one-liners, but I most certainly do not. I only said what came naturally. It was completely off the cuff, dealing with the game itself.
