Cry him a river.

Ian Madigan emerged as one of the heroes against France, before switching his attention to a teammate's golf game. It's been a busy few days for the outhalf, with the Leinster man now earning a new nickname from his teammates. Speaking after Ireland's famous victory over the weekend, Irish full-back Rob Kearney said: "The boys are calling him Gazza now." We can see the comparisons. Luckily for us, Madigan's were tears of joy. https://youtu.be/hH_Yt0K3tZA Clips via Rugby World Cup and World Cup Football Brazil 2014
