Irish players prove the work/life balance is possible even at a World Cup

BY Jack Tunney  ·  Thursday Sep 28, 2023

Irish rugby is known for many things; being world number ones, craic, BOD, drink, craic, Sexton Vs O’Gara, Keith Wood, craic, failed quarter-finals, drink, and more craic.

Well, keeping true to their ‘craic’ing nature, the lads have been seen enjoying some well-deserved rosé on their day off.

Looking suave in the French sun, Peter O’Mahony and Connor Murray painted a picture of two holidaymakers, making the most of their time in the South of France.

Fans have been in support of the lads, making the most of their time in France, with one fan joking that it may improve their performance: “I played my best rugby in the back of a bender. I’d say most of my colts team did. We reached a cup final, stayed in the night before and lost it. Keep doing what you’re doing Ireland it worked for us”.

Others, however, took a more serious tone, suggesting that a total drinks ban would be against the values of the sport.
