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!"

Agreed. As a Saffa I have much respect for the ABs. I also have to say given any option I would ONLY prefer to lose to ABs. To lose to England is probably the most embarrassing think to happen to either of us.
There was a time when both of us lost to England and we both hated it. Thankfully those days are behind us. Kudos to you guys, kudos to ABs. But dear old BS seems to hate us Boks. No idea why.
Go to commentsI got the sense that holding him to it was kickback from SB and the rfu smarting at being jilted quite so soon, so unexpectedly and so publicly.
Seem to remember that they spoke to Gustard before appointing Joe and you really have to think he would have come in at a higher level?
