Pic: Proof that being in a picture with Paul O’Connell and Sergio Parisse will make you look tiny

It could happen to anyone

It could happen to anyone.

It’s no secret that Paul O’Connell and Sergio Parisse are giants of men, literally as well as metaphorically.

Both of them stand around six foot six inches tall and weigh the best part of 18 stone so when your average Joe Soap stands next to them, he’s going to look minute in comparison.

Stefano Scudiere was that average Joe Soap today, having won a competition to attend today’s match between Ireland and Italy at the Stadio Olimpico.

He posed for a picture with the two captains as well as referee Pascal Gauzère, who’s also a big guy, before the game and let’s just say it’s not hard to pick him out.
