We’ve seen it all now. In the Pro12 match between Leinster and Scarlets, much loved referee Nigel Owens got hit in the back by the ball when an overeager ball boy tossed it back into play. Always seeing the funny side of things, Owen’s whipped out his yellow card.
After the game Owens, widely recognised as the best referee in the world, tweeted about the amusing moment and said that he will be happy to send his match jersey to the ball boy.
This is why rugby is the greatest team sport in the world. Anyone know the ballboy? Will send him my match Jersey to keep. #goodsport https://t.co/2Hk2zjXIcI

Contact was made, and he later said that the – washed – jersey will be on it’s way shortly.
Thanks all for your help. Have made contact with the ball boy and the jersey will be posted to him asap. Washed of course ????. #rugbyfamily https://t.co/NvGbmzHjRq
