Villagers from Nigel Owens' home village are celebrating his selection as referee for this weekend's World Cup final.

The residents of Mynyddcerrig in Carmarthenshire have been busy decorating the village in his honour, as well as organising a party to be held tomorrow ahead of the final at Twickenham.

Well known for his one-liners whilst refereeing, Owens' appointment was officially announced on Monday, with many within the sport and members of the public taking to social media to congratulate him.
