VIDEO: Haskell begs O'Brien to re-enact Irish Traveller 'dating techniques'
By Ian Cameron
One of the behind-the-scenes highlights of the British and Irish Lions tour of New Zealand were the occasional unofficial social media updates featuring England and Wasps backrow James Haskell and Ireland and Leinster backrow Sean 'The Tullow Tank' O'Brien.
The pair roomed together and they formed quite the double-act, each one taking it in turns to get on the other's nerves. However Haskell has clearly saved some of his best footage until last.
In the latest update we find Haskell begging Sean O'Brien to re-enact the phenomenon of 'grabbing'. The controversial practice sees young Traveller boys 'grabbing' girls at social events in order to kiss them, a craze that featured on Channel 4's 'My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding'.
It should be pointed out that Travellers' rights groups claim the practice is a myth is not as commonplace as suggested in the program.
