Video: Irish rugby trio surprise stunned family with a pile of presents and a funny Q&A

Decent ol' delivery at your doorstep, this

Conan Doherty

“All I want for Christmas is to be happy…”

Rob Kearney is fooling no-one.  And certainly not Donnacha Ryan’s exasperated eye-roll.

Ryan and the Kearney brothers, Rob and Dave, paid a special visit this week to a stunned family, the Whelans, as part of Aviva’s Christmas With Love scheme and it was captured brilliantly in this sweet video.

The rugby trio land at the door step of two Ireland-mad brothers and bombard them with a host of presents… and two alpacas as well (of course).

The boys then get to grill the Irish lads with a surprise of their own, a carefully devised Q&A.

In fairness, the craic looks good in the Whelan house as the three look to have enjoyed themselves as they kick back and unwind.  Watch this and add it to the list of reasons why Ireland are your favourite team.

Just don’t ask Donnacha Ryan what his best ever try was…
