The actor was asked by manager Rob Page to speak to the team after he received great acclaim for a performance of a similar speech on 'A League of Their Own'. The room was full of applause and cheers as Sheen finished the monologue and he was then presented with a bottle of whisky and a signed Wales shirt by captain Gareth Bale.
