RUGBY – Welsh rugby player challenges One Direction member

There was no love lost between Mike Phillips and some of the Irish players given their scuffle at the end of the Six Nations game between Ireland and Wales.

But now the Welsh Rugby star has picked a so-called ‘battle’ with a boy band member! Here is how the spat played out between Mike Phillips and One Direction’s Niall Horan on Twitter.

C'mon Ireland ! Wohooo! Fantastic first half hour
