Sunday Social: Mood matcher and sucking it in

Adam Kyriacou

It is time for Planet Rugby’s Sunday Social, your quirky recap of the serious and not so serious talking points from the past week’s action.

We kick things off with a remarkable conversion attempt from Counties Manukau fly-half Baden Kerr. We doubt he will be able to replicate this one in a hurry.

Staying in New Zealand and World Rugby threw up this funny post on Tuesday asking which Steve Hansen are you today? He doesn’t half have a myriad of moods.

One team very much in high spirits are the Western Force as they enjoyed a gym session. There are some decent dance moves in here… the other ones, not so much.

We now head to England and there was plenty of midweek action in the Premiership and Saracens wasted no time scoring from a restart against Worcester Warriors.

This official channelled his inner David Brent when he realised he was on camera during a break in the fixture. Watch as he puffs his chest and sucks in the gut.

Speaking of match officials, this referee in France clearly needs to count while he strides, as Robin Copeland spotted. Was that 15 steps he made in the end?

Elsewhere, this weekend saw the return of PRO14 rugby as the new season got underway. That means Scrum V returns and who better than Rocco to promote it.

Back to New Zealand now and these All Blacks players had an unwanted flying friend as they were watching a schoolboy game. Perfect timing from the TV producer.

Finally, we round things off with a couple of interesting hair cuts in the Mitre 10 Cup, with Auckland centre Tumua Manu certainly taking things to a new level.

However, we are afraid that Manu and the rest are still a long way behind Bay of Plenty’s Joe Webber for the most talked about lid in the competition. Sum this up.
