The Ruck Rugby Podcast

BONUS: Past Imperfect - Nigel Owens

In this special bonus edition we are bringing you an episode from another Times podcast - Past Imperfect. Nigel Owens MBE became the first referee to take charge of 100 Rugby Union international games before his retirement last autumn. He joined Rachel Sylvester and Alice Thomson from his farm in Wales, where he opened up about coming to terms with his sexuality, the devastating impact it had on his mental health, and how rugby saved him after he tried to take his own life.
