If Benitez had been confronted by that ballboy, he probably would’ve stared at him for 70 minutes, then swapped Ivanovic for David Luiz

Ball boy was acting like any other kid in South Wales. If the ball’s over the line, you lie on it until the try is awarded.”

I’m sure had been a ginger ball boy they simply would have played on.

Re Ball boy: Actually, when I would lie on ball and mates would try and kick it out from under me – I remember that being top fun.
