Pic: Jamie Heaslip and the Six Nations trophy had a gas run-in with An Garda Síochána

The look on his face

The look on his face.

While there should be no one in Irish society that’s capable of deeming themselves to be above the law, Jamie Heaslip’s ‘beast mode’ performance at Murrayfield yesterday might make him a decent contender for a ‘Get Out of Jail Free’ card.

They’re real right?

Heaslip had a huge role to play in Ireland’s successful retention of their Six Nations crown and while there’s very little room for ‘ifs, buts and maybes’ in elite sport, Irish fans had their hearts in their mouths when Stuart Hogg was convinced that he scored that try.

Had the Leinster 8 not made that tackle then who knows what might have been?

Heaslip could probably get away with lifting some members of the Garda over his shoulder and dancing with them right now, such is the debt we all owe him, but it seems that he’s having a different type of craic with the boys in blue.

This is great.
