Tweet of the Day: Can someone help Rhys Ruddock?
The Ireland and Leinster Backrow found himself a little bit of bother today as he attempted to impress everybody by ordering some Lobster on his summer bank holiday weekend.
Unfortunately the big man and son of Welsh Grand Slam-winning coach Mike Ruddock can win Heineken Cups with Leinster but using the utensils for prying the shell of a lobster open is a bridge too far for the 21-year old. (To be fair most at JOE would be screwed too.)
This is a positive in many ways because it is yet another example of rugby in Leinster throwing off the false impression that it is an elite sport run by toffs – any self-respecting toff would know how to eat a lobster.
Rhys sent out this SOS over Twitter earlier on today:
Rhys looks bemused here, but the child in the background looks either frustrated with Rhys’s inability to use his cutlery or has given up in frustration having ordered the lobster himself.
Regardless of that, can some benevolent JOE reader help Mr. Ruddock eat his dinner? We need to get him ready for the fast-approaching season.
