Episode 31 of The Michael Anthony show sees rugby’s most capped referee Nigel Owens discuss his iconic career as the man in the middle, as well the emotional roller coaster that accompanied accepting his sexuality whilst operating in a traditionally ultra masculine industry. Political correctness, the controversies surrounding modern rugby union and the sports relationship with different social classes are all discussed, as well the modern phenomenon of social media and the global mental health crisis. Never far away from scrutiny, the open, insightful and honest Owens, has learned with experience that self integrity must exceed all other factors in seeking true fulfillment.
