Rugby fans get an eyeful as Andrew Trimble bares all on Twitter

Rugby fans got more than the bargained for recently when Ireland and Ulster star Andrew Trimble was exposed by fellow player Dave Kearney.

Trimble made light of the breech on Twitter and didn't seem to mind being the butt of the joke.

He said: "@kearney_dave get your hand out of my bum Davey you rascal!" attaching an image of the incident.

Kearney responded with: "....brilliant!! My hand still smells ;)"

The tongue-in-cheek exchange went down yesterday, with the original image racking up almost 3,000 retweets and almost another 3,000 favourites.

It also prompted a variety of hilarious responses on Twitter:

@kearney_dave the least you could of done was fix breakfast for @andrew_trimble afterwards #gentleman
