Dublin: 13 °C Thursday 14 November, 2024

A rugby player asked what the weather was like in Dublin ahead of his match against Leinster and got the best responses

Strong sarcasm on show.

LEINSTER BEGIN THEIR Champions Cup campaign this weekend by welcoming the all-star French club Montpellier to the RDS in Dublin.

One man on everyone’s radar is the giant, unstoppable Fijian winger Nemani Nadolo, seen here slaloming through the Leinster defence with ease last year (he scored two tries and was named man of the match):

Nemani is very active on Twitter, and had a simple request to any Irish followers when he was packing this morning ahead of his flight:

How cold is Dublin right now?

Instead of bog standard weather info, some inventive Leinster fans had a better idea

It was worth a try

He saw the funny side of their cunning plan though:

Others actually tried to describe the contradiction that is Irish weather this past week

The best summary? The bad weather will at least be warm

Gordon D’Arcy had a sound message for him

Eventually Nadolo took all the advice on board and packed very, very optimistically
