Leinster's Fergus McFadden hits teammate with the social media burn of 2018
By Ian Cameron
Leinster's Fergus McFadden scored a brace of tries in the Pro14 side's heavy defeat of Irish provincial rivals Ulster last night, and it was that brilliant vein of form that continued on Twitter.
It was a cold night in Dublin and the Leinster man's non-bench teammates on the sidelines were forced to don blankets in a bid to keep warm. However, as McFadden was quick to highlight, clapping under said piece of material is not a great look.
McFadden wrote along with an accompanying video: "When the boys are happy with the performance..."
McFadden is known as something of a funnyman in the Leinster environment, and he struck gold with his tweet.
Kearney took it on the chin on his instagram account, writing: "I’d Like to formally apologise for my behavior last night, completely unacceptable. Some of the tries were just too good"

Steve Borthwick appointment was misguided based on two flawed premises.
1. An overblown sense of the quality of the premiership rugby. The gap between the Premiership and Test rugby is enormous
2. England needed an English coach who understood English Rugby and it's traditional strengths.
SB won the premiership and was an England forward and did a great job with the Japanese forwards but neither of those qualify you as a tier 1 test manager.
Maybe Felix Jones and Aled Walter's departures are down to the fact that SB is a details man, which work at club level but at test level you need the manager to manage and let the coaches get on and do what they are employed for.
SB criticism of players is straight out of Eddie Jones playbook but his loyalty to keeping out of form players borne out of his perceived sense of betrayal as a player.
In all it doesn't stack up as the qualities needed to be a modern Test coach /Manager
