While some of his Ireland teammates slagged O'Mahony off, it was interesting to Brian O'Driscoll - a man who knows his way around marketing event - publicly critique the Front Row client over the tweet.

The lesson for athletes is as follows: it's ok to advertise products and brands over your social media stream, but we all know that choosing a new bed is not craic in anyone's world. Choose your language wisely.
