Everyone on Twitter just shuddered.
Warning – this footage is not for the faint-hearted.
As the Ireland and Argentina Rugby World Cup quarter-final marched towards half-time, every supporter in the country (and further afield) let out a collective shudder when Dave Kearney’s finger had to be put back in place.
And yes, you did read that right.
Kearney’s finger was sorted out by a medic from the sideline, and as everybody wished they could erase the sight from their memory, Twitter came alight with reactions.
Be warned – you cannot unsee this.
Kind of traumatised… #IREvARG pic.twitter.com/fZaeNsiD87
