Nigel Owens' 'unforgettable' first Test match in Cardiff

Nigel Owens spoke of the pride he felt refereeing his first Test match in Cardiff and the support he received from his home village.

Owens took charge of Ireland vs France in the pool stages of the Rugby World Cup in 2015.

"The atmosphere was electric," said the Welsh referee, "it will go down alongside that proud moment of walking out at Twickenham to do the World Cup Final."

He said that the knowing that his home town, Mynydd Cerrig, were supporting him made it "even more special".
