PIC: Brian O'Driscoll expertly trolled Gordon D'Arcy after a punter sent them both a picture

He's some man for the craic.

The similarities are pretty striking indeed, but we're fairly sure that Henry wasn't expecting much of a response from the legendary Irish captain. Definitely not a reaction as good as this, anyway...

The head off him. About similar heights too if yer man stays sitting! https://t.co/UPpIG7UDvy

We wait patiently for D'Arcy's retort.
