2019 brought us the Blackrock lads 'absolutely sending it' for the Ko Samui Cup and Irish rugby fans anticipating 'absolute carnage' in Japan.
Harry Jones chatted with the six Ireland fans, as they sipped on some pre-match beers. He asked them what they would compare Irish rugby to.The opening replies - baguette and croissant - were tame enough. Fan No.4 then stepped up and was on a heater from the start.
"I would compare them to Dublin Zoo. You've got your different layers. You've got your gazelles on the wing - your Hansens and Lowes. Then you've got your lions in midfield - your Ringrose, your Bundee Aki. Your tigers at 10, Johnny Sexton, of course!"The lads were only getting warmed up, and on the zoomed through animals to compare the Irish players to. No.5 even threw in a Britney Spears shout-out.
The video itself has 1.5 million views, and counting, with some loving the analogies and one skeptic declaring, 'I need to stress, this is not what 98% of Irish people are like.'
