This would be a good way of currying favour with Nigel Owens.
The veteran referee will be touch judge for Ireland’s crunch Six Nations clash with England at Twickenham on Saturday but he’s somehow managed to forget to pack his boots before setting off for London.
The Welsh official tweeted a call for some assistance on Friday afternoon after realising he was without his footwear for the game.
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

There was no shortage of offers from fans of the wise-cracking referee, some more legit than others.
@Nigelrefowens @UnderArmourUK I’m size 9s but it’ll cost you twenty quid
