WATCH: Mike McCarthy gets far too excited when revealing his free Irish Rugby kit

Just like Christmas

Patrick McCarry

“T-shirt, polo shirt, boot-bag… Oh, ohhh, boot-bag, boot-bag. I love boot-bags.”

Away from the anthems, the sell-out stadiums, the world-class opponents and opportunity to create history, free gear must be one of the best parts about being a professional rugby player.

As Ireland lock Mike McCarthy remarks, “It’s like Christmas.”

McCarthy was like a talented pig in complimentary muck as he got stuck into his official IRFU kitbag.

You will not see a happier individual than McCarthy as he discovers he not only gets a boot-bag and white socks but a stadium jacket.

Jammy sod.
