Ireland International Peter O’Mahony didn’t look too pleased when he was pranked by Munster teammate Simon Zebo with a fire extinguisher.
Reacting to the clip, one fan wrote: “Another name on the list, another body that will ultimately feed the abundant flowers in POM’s back garden.”
A second wrote: “Fastest Zebo has moved since he came back to Munster,”
Another said: “I’m certain POM had killed for far less than this.”
A fourth commented: “He was ready to kill at one point there.”
