92: Nigel Owens on hanging up his whistle, asking for Ronan O’Gara’s signature and telling his own story to make a difference.

Paddy and Ruby spoke to the brilliant Nigel Owens on the latest pod. Nigel has recently retired as an international rugby referee, but not necessarily by choice.   He spoke bravely about his own battles with mental health and why telling his story and sharing his experiences can help make a difference to people in a similar position.   Ronan O’Gara was revealed as one of the lippiest players to ever grace a rugby pitch, but made amends with a touch of class when writing a note for Nigel’s Dad.   It’s Paddy Power and Ruby Walsh in conversation with Nigel Owens and it’s coming straight “From The Horse’s Mouth”.   If you need help:   Samaritans - 116 123 - https://www.samaritans.org/   Pieta House 1800 247 247 - https://www.pieta.ie/   18+ | begambleaware.org
