About this deal

I'm truly humbled by the staunch backing, messages of goodwill, warmth and affection people have shown me. I'm proof that you can overcome the dark times, the trauma when you feel you are going nowhere, and still come through to achieve your goals, land your dreams and reach the very top of your profession. Perhaps the best place to start with Nigel is with his first book Hanner Amser/Half Time, where he initially spoke about those dark times.

It's very different to being a referee, but I love it, I really do," says Owens, who explains being a farmer was always his ambition.

As such I can't thank enough those in the game who have been so supportive down the years, from players to coaches, to officials, to fans, to my employers at the Welsh Rugby Union.

Towards the end of the second half one of the players asked him if he could tell him when there were five minutes remaining and indeed repeated the request a little while later. But not only did he survive his suicide attempt but positively thrived, officiating at four World Cups, taking charge of more Six Nations games than anyone else, blowing the whistle at seven European Cup Finals and presiding over some of the best games of rugby ever played, such as the high-octane try-fest that was the New Zealand victory over South Africa in Johannesburg in 2013.

The story of the second half of Nigel's career as one of the most famous referees in World Rugby and one of only two Welsh refs ever to officiate at a Rugby World Cup Final, including the full story of his last Rugby World Cup in 2019. Not apparently written with the expectation of a wide audience, enjoyable but could have used another draft | I enjoyed this to the four star level, but I have to be honest that the writing quality is two stars, so an easy balance at three overall.

His autobiography sees Owens take readers behind the scenes as he talks about what it was really like to be in the middle during some of rugby's greatest matches, reveals details of conversations with players out on the pitch, meetings with coaches and gives a string of hilarious dressing room anecdotes. Not that I’m anything special today, let me stress, but clearly my rise in rugby refereeing has happened since then and I’m grateful for the opportunity to share the story of what's happened," says Owens.
