Video: Nigel Owens delivered another of his classic one liners at the weekend

The BT Sport mics caught a funny exchange in the game between Harlequins and Wasps

Welsh ref Nigel Owens has been on a roll lately with his comments to players. From his infamous 'I'm straighter than that one' line earlier in the season https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZlFVOp4faI to telling the Munster and Toulouse front rows that if they don't like scrummaging they are in the wrong position, Owens like to bring a bit of humour to his officiating. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCVzqcuLgkw The Welsh man was at it again at the weekend when he took charge of Harlequins and Wasps. Bradley Davies and George Robson started to get a bit aggro but it was far from serious. Owens firmly put them in their place by saying that 'If you want a cwtch (Welsh word for hug or cuddle) do it off the field, not on it'.

By the way Cwtsh is the Welsh word for a cuddle. @btsportrugby. https://t.co/yjO3xl7JNc" — Nigel Owens (@Nigelrefowens) January 18, 2015

Well played Nigel, well played.
