NIGEL OWENS MAY just hear a bit of quick-witted banter at Twickenham tomorrow when England play host to Ireland in their crucial RBS 6 Nations clash.
The Welsh official is a touch judge for the game in south west London but his preparations have been dealt a bit of a blow.
Earlier this evening, he took to social media to ask a favour of his followers.
Been refereeing now for 28yrs & this is the first time ever I've forgot to pack my boots. Anyone around Richmond a size 9 in @UnderArmourUK— Nigel Owens MBE (@Nigelrefowens) February 26, 2016

After getting a tip-off about there being ‘a Sports Direct 2 roundabouts down from Twickenham’, Owens confirmed he’d grab some new boots there.
So, if you spot him slipping and sliding along the touchline tomorrow afternoon, you’ll know why.
