Nigel Owens keeps his promise following his yellow card to ball-boy
Rugby NewsMonday, 06 March 2017 at 10:13
In the dying minutes of a Pro 12 clash between Leinster and Scarlets, ball boy Joe Downey attempted to throw the ball to the Scarlets players in order to take a penalty.
The ball however struck Nigel Owens in the back, triggering rugby comedy gold and yet another highlight for the referee’s already bursting library of memorable moments.
With the help of his Twitter army, Owens was able to make contact with the sin-binned ball boy and has now sent him match jersey.

- Jordie Barrett over Damian de Allende is far from being correct. The hype around Dupont is also overreaching, he's probably 4th in the world and has been since the 2023 WC. He also avoids certain matchups which is strange. The rest of the list is pretty good apart from minor subjective biases.JasonMarlow16-09-2026
