    So what do the strange hand signals actually signify? One of the world's best refs gives a brilliant step by step guide.
    'This is not soccer' is the famous catchphrase of Nigel Owens, Wales’ top rugby referee and widely respected as one of the finest officials on the planet.
    And football it most certainly is not. Many will be tuning into rugby for the first time as the World Cup commences, but even seasoned rugby watchers are sometimes mystified by the complex laws and the referee’s hand signals.
    So who better to take you through exactly what those signals mean than Nigel himself?

      Stargazer I know, it was funny when Nigel said it. It means he’s learning to be happy in his own skin. I love him to bits

    Top ref in the world - I hope other refs aspire to his level of understanding of the game and his very high reffing standards. Legend indeed!

    What's the penalty for calling a rectangle a square?

    • @stayspicy9456
      @stayspicy9456 Před 2 lety

      He said TVs are square. Not all TVs are a square. Totally different. What's the penalty for not understanding basic English?

    @misterocain Před 4 lety +1

    Class act and very useful. So many times commentators don't explain the reason for offences. Now all needs be done is watch the signs from the ref. Bit obvious really.

    When was the last time anybody saw the ball not fed into the second row? It's like watching a rugby league scrum these days

    One question. How are penalties (i. e. offsides) enforced?

    • @StarryNightGazing
      @StarryNightGazing Před 5 lety +7

      the offended team can choose between
      -kicking at goal (from the tee or with a dropgoal) for 3 points
      -kicking the ball out and having a lineout in favour of their team from where the ball came out of the field
      -tapping the ball with the foot and attacking in free play
      -having a scrum in favour
