Pic: Nigel Owens was presented with a novelty passport at the RDS this evening

Leinster ran in four tries to go third in the Guinness Pro12 table this evening, coming from 8-5 down at half-time to win 29-8.

But clearly, the actual rugby was a sideshow. Referee Nigel Owens almost had to miss the game, after not realising he needed a passport to travel between Britain and Ireland with Ryanair. After some digs on Twitter, Aer Linger swept in to pick up Owens and some good publicity along the way, ensuring he made it to Ireland on time. And after this evening's game at the RDS, some cheeky Leinster fans presented him with an enormous novelty passport. Leinster's official Twitter page tweeted a shot of Owens receiving his "official" travel documents, and in fairness, considering the limited time these people had, it's actually a pretty impressive effort. https://twitter.com/leinsterrugby/status/568886483580542976
