Ireland rugby stars tell hilarious full story behind Garry Ringrose viral video on Late Late Show

Ireland's rugby stars have revealed the full hilarious story behind the viral video of them gatecrashing Garry Ringrose's house earlier this week.

Dan Sheehan, Andrew Porter and Josh Van Der Flier spoke to Ryan Tubridy on Friday night's Late Late Show and told the funny tale.

Footage emerged online of Andy Farrell's squad arriving at Ringrose's house on Monday evening, with some suggesting they were there because the Leinster star had refused to come out and continue partying.

However, Sheehan revealed that was not the case and that they had dropped into the Ringrose house to sing Happy Birthday to the centre's mother.

He said: "It was Garry's mum's birthday so we decided we'd show up and sing her happy birthday in her kitchen.

"Garry was with us. Garry was definitely with us. We ended up abducting his father as well."

Ireland defeated England 29-16 last Saturday to win their fourth Grand Slam, but Andy Farrell insisted his side's game is “nowhere near” where he would like it to be following the success.

“What’s very pleasing is that we’re not a side who just kicks the leather off the ball and just goes for territory the whole time,” he said.

“We’re a side that likes to play some rugby, and territory and possession is pretty important for us and we still find a way how to generate good field position and dominate large parts of games.

“And it’s nice, isn’t it, to have that blend and to put that out on the field and believe in it?

“So our game’s in good shape but it’s nowhere near where we want it to be, so that’s a great spot to be in.”
