Everyone’s favourite sound man of rugby is at it again.
Universally-beloved referee Nigel Owens drew a giggle from the crowd when he showed a ball boy a yellow card in the RDS last month.
First yellow card of the night shown by @Nigelrefowens to... a ballboy..? #LEIvSCA

The young lad’s offence? Hitting Owens in the head with the ball.
Ever the legend, afterwards Owens went online to locate the young lad.
He Tweeted: “Anyone know the ballboy? Will send him my match jersey to keep.”
A few weeks later and here is the proof he stuck to his word.
The postman took his time but as promised the jersey has arrived with the Ball Boy Joe safe and sound. https://t.co/vJ6fpfaUUL . pic.twitter.com/dy8rTCCMMk
