There’s a lot of reasons why we’ll miss the Lions tour when it concludes on Saturday.

The stellar rugby, getting to see four (three) nations play together, and most of all seeing Sean O’Brien and James Haskell being best buddies.

The pair have been in fine form both on and off the pitch and have developed an unlikely friendship.

Whether it be O’Brien teaching Haskell the lyrics to a Richie Kavanagh classic or the two being giddy that the Irish international wouldn’t be banned for the final Test against New Zealand.

O’Brien’s Instagram stories have been brilliant since landing in the Southern Hemisphere but his social media game has been on point long before that.

Here are 10 times he won Instagram.
