Referee Nigel Owens wasn’t impressed and neither was Zebo himself, who explained how he immediately set about making amends.
“I’m still sick about it,” he said. “I had to wait 10 minutes outside the dressing-room to give him my jersey and apologise again.
He then apologised again on Twitter.
Really sorry to Michael Lowry
Got too excited and I don’t do stuff like that as long as I’ve played.
I wouldn’t like my kids doing that and I’m disappointed in myself ..
Made a mistake, not in the spirit of the game..keep up the great work
