Leinster's Fergus McFadden hits teammate with the social media burn of 2018

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”
