The Moment In The Ireland Game That Everyone In The Country Wishes They Could Unsee

Everyone on Twitter just shuddered.  Warning – this footage is not for the faint-hearted. As the Ireland and Argentina Rugby World Cup quarter-final marched towards half-time, every supporter in the country (and further afield) let out a collective shudder when Dave Kearney’s finger had to be put back in place. And yes, you did read that right. Kearney’s finger was sorted out by a medic from the sideline, and as everybody wished they could erase the sight from their memory, Twitter came alight with reactions. Be warned - you cannot unsee this.

Kind of traumatised... #IREvARG pic.twitter.com/fZaeNsiD87
