Sheedy surprised as header goes viral

Fly-half Callum Sheedy was unaware of the viral video showing him head-butt the ball during a Wales match against Scarlets. The 21-15 victory occurred in the United Rugby Championship (URC) game on Saturday night. Sheedy remarked, "I probably wasn t thinking at the time, that was the problem," as he realized his actions would be widely shared on social media.

Former World Cup final referee Nigel Owens questioned whether head-butt ball usage is legal, sparking debate among fans. Sheedy acknowledged the split opinion among the public, stating, "It s a split 50-50." Cardiff's other Wales fly-halves, Ioan Lloyd and James Hook, could provide competition for Sheedy's spot. The team returns to Cardiff's home ground, the Arms Park, to face Zebre.
