Bundee Aki was out on the town on Saturday night, following Ireland's Six Nations win over Scotland.
The Connacht centre was forced to watch France steal the title in the last play against England on a phone outside of Pitch on Dawson Street.
He was videoed having a strong reaction to Thomas Ramos' winning penalty alongside Finlay Bealham.
In other Bundee news, he has signed a new deal with the IRFU - alongside Jamison Gibson-Park, Dan Sheehan and Josh van der Flier - keeping him in Ireland up until the end of the 2027 World Cup.
“It also enables us to plan with confidence towards Rugby World Cup 2027 and beyond. That four key performers see their playing futures in Ireland is a strong endorsement of their ambition allied to the competitive environments, high calibre of coaching, medical support and improving facilities across the provinces. These re-signings also reaffirm the IRFU’s commitment to attracting and retaining top-class talent.”

That they see their futures here is a significant boost, which I have no doubt will delight Ireland supporters around the world. They are all key leaders who put their bodies on the line time and time again in reaching the highest standards on the field. All four players are a pleasure to work with and have played key roles throughout the recent Guinness Men’s Six Nations. In congratulating Bundee, Jamison, Dan and Josh on their new contracts, we look forward to seeing them progress in Ireland in the months and years to come.”
