They don’t get along, so they have to get it on
Of all the stories to emerge from Ireland’s big win over Wales, the Twitter spat between One Directioner Niall Horan and Wales’ Mike Phillips was definitely the most entertaining.
Eventually encompassing Rob Kearney as a peace maker, Phillips’ original tweet is currently just shy of 20,000 retweets and 16,500 favourites.
So while we thought the whole fandango had died down, Paddy Power are doing their best to reignite it today.
If Horan and Phillips get in a ring, the bookie will give the pair serious money for charity.
Hey @NiallOfficial fancy getting into the boxing ring with @mikephillips009? We’ll give the winner €50k for charity & the loser €10k!!

They even want to get Kearney involved as a special referee, WWE-style…
& @KearneyRob if you want to get involved in this fight for the ages & be the ref we’ll give you €10k to donate to a charity of your choice!

So far there has been no response from the trio involved but we reckon the Pay-Per-View on this would rival Mayweather/Pacquiao. We’re backing the idea 100 per cent.
