Scarra Ntubeni has apologised after a video of him hitting a ball out of a ball boy's hands during Western Province's Currie Cup game against the Cheetahs in Bloemfontein on Saturday went viral.
A short while ago Ntubeni took to social media and shared a heartfelt apology saying what happened yesterday was totally out of character.
"So last night I did something out of my character and I take all criticism coming my way... I apologise to everyone I disappointed, everyone who supports me and most importantly Giovanni..."
