Got to hand it to John Cooney for trying.
The quickest way from Point A to Point B is a straight line. Perhaps that was the reason Connacht scrum-half John Cooney scampered off behind the Munster defence at Thomond Park.
Cooney, who was a second-half sub in his side’s 42-20 defeat, tweeted this picture out today of his adventure behind enemy lines.

We got in touch with Cooney and, newshounds that we are, demanded an explanation.
