Billy Vunipola was the cheekiest chap following victory over Munster

Pure cringe

Ben Kiely

You can actually pinpoint the second where he transforms into a #MadLad.

First thing’s first, Saracens are deservedly through to the Champions Cup final after comprehensively beating Munster 26-10 in the Aviva stadium on Saturday.

The better team won and we have no ill will or bitterness towards Saracens for shattering the Irish province’s dream of European glory. They were phenomenal, their defence was impenetrable and we’re certain they’re going to give whoever they meet in the final a very tough game.

After the game though, things got very tough to watch during the post-match interviews. Well, just Billy Vunipola’s interview really, as the man entered ‘megabantz mode’.

In fairness to the interviewer, she warned the world of what was coming by mentioning Vunipola had already told her he was hungry. (B*nter! B*nter! B*nter! Big boys like their food. Waheey!)

Unfortunately, she then gave him a platform to drop the following monstrosity to explain his less than enthusiastic reaction:

“I know, but I’ve been saving myself for a Burger King or something like that (pauses for anticipation) or a Nandos (gives cheeky look to camera).”

Cringe-related deaths have just sky-rocketed. Remain indoors, folks. You’ll be safer in there.
