IF IMITATION REALLY is the sincerest form of flattery then Nigel Owens should be absolutely chuffed that another referee is following his lead with it comes to injecting a few one-liners into his officiating.
Owens occasionally blurs the referee-player line with a few jokes, and it has made him one of the most loved officials around.
Owens’ compatriot, Ian Davies, must be an admirer of his because during the Dragons v Blues game over the weekend, he came out with a pretty great line of his own when penalising prop Adam Jones at the scrum.
We could have heard the best one-liner in refereeing history in the Pro12 over the weekend

In fairness, Davies was spot on with his description of Adam Jones’ eyes.
Do you like when referees make the odd joke or would you prefer them to be serious at all times?
