Pic: Holly Carpenter thought Gareth Bale was called into the Lions team

Thanks to her other half Cian Healy, we now know that Irish model Holly Carpenter doesn’t know her Bale from her Bowe.

After the shocking stuff emanating from the Lions selection this morning it is possible to believe nearly anything regarding what Warren Gatland might do, especially when it comes to favouring Welsh players. Nearly anything, but not quite this. Injured Lion Cian Healy posted a copy of a conversation he had today with his other half Holly Carpenter and it seems the model fell for one of the many jokes doing the rounds on Twitter regarding the Lions team.

So @Holly0910 is doing well on learning about rugby but I think she may have a bit to go..... pic.twitter.com/VCUx1s1tuO — Cian Healy (@ProperChurch) July 3, 2013

  In fairness, if Gareth Bale was knocking around Sydney on his holidays, he’d almost certainly get a call from Warren G to join the Lions tour. ‘Lions coverage on JOE brought to you in association with Kellogg’s, official cereal & snack provider to the IRFU.’
