Good/bad for us?

OK i think, i don't mind him, can be a bit picky at times but he does talk to the players alot which seems to help them.

Better than Wayne Barnes!

Expected Nigel Owens to be honest.

He's ok. Can't remember any terrible games he's had

He's ok. Can't remember any terrible games he's had

Dragons v Leicester in our first EDF Cup match.

One of the most remarkable performances I've ever seen from a referee.

And not in a good way.

This shouldn't make any difference of course, but I think he reffed both of Leinster's k.o. games against Quins and Munster. So don't suppose Leinster are too upset - they should certainly know how to play him.

I think we had him in the home tie against Perpignan - I'm sure Cockers and co. will do their homework.

I think this is really good - I rate him as one of the best refs in the UK

Lets hope Whitey doesn't punch anybody again, think Barnes was ref against Sale at WR?

I know, read what it says on the tin!!!!

Shouldn't be a problem as barnes not ref and its Nigel Owens.

Been a long day

With Pearson and White reffing the semi-finals, I have assumed that Wayne Barnes has the big one.

See elsewhere. Tis Barnes!!

I would have preferred a frinchman for both.

But we shall win both despite the ref!!

KEEP THE FAITH!!

Time to wheel out the old joke:
Q - what do you call a welshman at the hec final?
A - 'Sir'.

There are lot worse ref's out there than our Nige, we could have ended up with a scotsman. Then we'd really have been trouble.
