TOKYO (Reuters) - Welsh referee Nigel Owens said he was surprised to find his latest quip in the Canada v Italy Rugby World Cup match had become an internet sensation and laughed off suggestions that he practised his lines before matches.
Owens was speaking to Canadian captain Tyler Ardron after a series of offences in the Sept. 26 game in Fukuoka and said: "I won’t give you a second warning. Speak to your side, the next time will be a card...and speak to yourself as well because you're the one giving away the penalties."
