Cry him a river.

Ian Madigan emerged as one of the heroes against France, before switching his attention to a teammate’s golf game.

It’s been a busy few days for the outhalf, with the Leinster man now earning a new nickname from his teammates.

Speaking after Ireland’s famous victory over the weekend, Irish full-back Rob Kearney said: “The boys are calling him Gazza now.”

We can see the comparisons.

Luckily for us, Madigan’s were tears of joy.
