When you tune in for a game of rugby at 1:43pm, the last thing you’re expecting to see is Dave Kilcoyne’s lovely Limerick rump staring back at you.
Munster are taking on Cardiff Blues in the Guinness PRO14, at Thomond Park, and have found themselves in a right scrap.
The Welsh side discovered they were soon to lose their coach, Danny Wilson, earlier in the week. However, were performing well for the prospective man to step in and lead them through the rest of the season. Munster had Lions Peter O’Mahony, CJ Stander and Conor Murray on the park but looked a tad sluggish in the early afternoon kick-off.
After falling behind 3-0, Munster were testing the Cardiff defence by playing it straight up the guts. After one O’Mahony carry, Kilcoyne called the ball on himself and carried into contact.
The wrap tackle from Nick Williams was so effective that it yoinked Kilcoyne’s shorks and boxers down around his knees.

Professional to the end, is ‘Killer’.

Within 90 seconds of Kilcoyne’s mooning episode, Murray was touching down off the base of the Cardiff post for his first try of the season.
Perhaps Kilcoyne should take a leaf from former Munster star Donncha O’Callaghan’s book and go with some red briefs, with tight elastic, the next time he lines out.
Briefs > boxers in rugby.
