Oh ‘F**k’ – Mack Hansen lets slip again as he takes a dig at ‘old’ Johnny Sexton

Ireland winger Mack Hansen has slipped up again in a post-match interview after the Rugby World Cup victory over the Springboks.

The winger scored Ireland’s only try in the 13-8 victory over the defending champions and was one of the players up for interviews after the game.

Hansen, who has a tendency to drop the F-bomb in post-match interviews, did not disappoint; he also managed to take a dig at his captain, Johnny Sexton.

The Ireland fans

Asked to sum up the feeling of the thousands of fans in the stadium and the atmosphere during the win, Hansen said: “Oh, it was pretty much like Grand Grand Slam on steroids out there.

“It was crazy, I think that it said that there were 80,000 fans; it seemed like there were f**king eight hundred… Oh, pardon, pardon, again. Damn, it seemed like there was 800,000 – I swore sorry.

He added: “Yeah, it was incredible, and we needed every single one of them out there tonight as well to get that to get that job done against a really good South African team.

“They’re just so big and physical, and they still showed up tonight, and it’s definitely the fans who got us over there.

While Hansen scored the only try for Ireland, he almost didn’t manage to dot down, coming incredibly close to the dead ball line when trying to work a better angle for Sexton to add the conversion.

“It looked a lot closer to comfort than I would have liked, but I was just trying to make the kick easy for Johnny,” he said.

“You know, he’s getting a bit old now, and he can’t get the same distance as he used to.

“So I thought if I could sneak it around a bit more, it would just make his life a lot easier, and I knew what I was doing obviously, obviously.”
