Now, we're not judging anyone who likes One Direction but we just didn't expect an international rugby player to be a huge fan of their work.

For us, it all went down hill when that one fella left the band but that's not the case for Johnny Sexton apparently. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tg2lOGUAPkY In the latest in a series of video diaries from the Ireland camp, Darren Cave and Eoin Reddan have claimed that the Irish out-half is a big Directioner and has organised for some of his teammates to go to a concert tonight. Reddan said:
"Some news about tomorrow night, Jonny Sexton is a huge One Direction fan. I think he's arranged tickets for us to go, so if you're there or you're interested in One Direction hopefully you might see a few of the lads there."
The boy band are playing London's O2 Arena tonight so some of the Irish squad may well be in attendance as Westmeath's Niall Horan is a big supporter of the international team. https://twitter.com/NiallOfficial/status/645256404832546816 Horan would want to sort his allegiances out before the knock-out stage, though. https://twitter.com/DanCarter/status/648129453298688004?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw We're sure that Reddan was only taking the piss about Sexton being a huge One Direction fan but, hey, stranger things have happened.
