Hilariously brutal six-word Ronan O'Gara tweet about old Munster pal
Newly crowned URC champions Munster arrived back at Thomond Park on Monday night to celebrate with their fans at the famed Limerick rugby cathedral and that jubilation was accompanied by Ronan O’Gara delivering a brilliant social media reply to Alan Quinlan, his former club and country teammate.
Mary Quinlan has been one of Munster’s most avid supporters for the last two decades and a video even emerged post last Saturday’s win over the Stormers in Cape Town of a club staff member sprinkling Quinlan’s holy water on the team jerseys ahead of the final that was clinched 19-14 with a late converted John Hodnett try.
The victory sparked massive celebrations amongst the 2,000-strong travelling Munster support in South Africa and ahead of their return to Limerick, Quinlan posted a tweet about his mother, which promoted a smart alec response from O’Gara, the La Rochelle boss who guided his French team to Heineken Champions Cup glory over Leinster in Dublin the previous week.
“If anyone spots my mum in Thomond Park tonight, tell her to go home. She is only back from Cape Town this morning and on the tear again. She told me earlier that she was very tired and going to bed early and then I get sent pictures of her in the middle of it,” wrote Quinlan.
This promoted a six-word reply from O’Gara: “Mary is more craic than you!!” Fair play to Quinlan, though, as he soon attempted a comeback to O’Gara’s killer line. “I was no craic because I’d to put you to bed every night,” he quipped.
Quinlan then posted a Tuesday morning update on his mother's whereabouts following the Thomond Park celebrations. "Breaking news, not an egg collected this morning in Tipperary. She must be still in bed. The rooster is roaring to get out of the shed!"

I think we need to get innovative with the new laws.
Now red cards are only 20 minutes, Razor should send Finau on a head hunting mission to hospitalise their 10 with a shoulder to the chops.
Give the conspiracy theorists a win.
England played well enough to win but couldnt score when they needed to and couldnt defend a couple of X-Factor moments from Telea which was ultimately the difference. They needed to hold the ball more and make the AB's make more tackles. Territorially they were good for the first 60. Defending their lead and playing pragmatic rugby in the last 20 was silly. The AB's always had the potential to come back. England still have a long way to go, definite progress would have been shown had they won but it seems they are still stuck where they were shortly after the six nations and their tour to NZ
