Video: Irish hooker Tom Sexton got caught in a hilarious prank by his Melbourne Rebels teammates

The Dubliner found a dead mouse in his locker at training

We’ve never seen a front row forward move this fast.

Dubliner Tom Sexton found himself on the wrong end of a hilarious prank by his Melbourne Rebels teammates recently, and it was all captured on camera.

His teammate Sam Jeffries found a dead mouse on the side of the road, and decided the best place for it was the locker of his Irish teammate.

The squad waited in anticipation as Sexton opened his locker before training, and as soon as the poor man spotted the creature, he let out a fairly embarrassing shriek, before sprinting away faster than any front row has in their lives.

Sexton was born in Lelbourne, but grew up in Dublin and was a part of the Leinster academy until 2013, when he joined the Rebels.
