Renowned rugby referee Nigel Owens is due to referee Leinster V Zebre this evening, but he’s having a bit of trouble getting to Dublin for the game.
The Welsh referee has turned up at Bristol airport for his flight, only to realise that, as he is flying with Ryanair, he needs a passport to travel to Ireland. It appears Mr Owens hadn’t packed his passport, and he’s taken to Twitter to vent his frustration this morning...
