      Both apologized for their actions to their friends, family, teammates and the rough sleeper that was the subject of the video.

      Callum Carson, said: “Firstly, I would like to apologise to the person involved for my behaviour and lack of respect towards them. Then, I have to say sorry, to my family, my friends, my teammates and the Ospreys and the supporters for the embarrassment caused by my actions.”
