It happens to the best of us. When he's enlightening even the most superficial of rugby fans with his in depth Irish Times columns, Gordon D'Arcy can take his time, get things just right and craft the perfect argument to make us all think he's some kind of rugby savant.
And he might well be, but when the pressure of live TV kicks in, even D'Arcy is prone to a bout of the old 'oh crap, I can't even remember the most basic of facts'.
The awkwardness of being a well regarded rugby pundit who can't even remember Owen Farrell's name is bad but thankfully, no one noticed and D'Arcy was allowed to go about his business in a calm and professional manner.
Some chance. Step forward Sean Cronin, who was never going to let D'Arcy away with such an extreme level of brainfart.

Horribly uncomfortable to watch, and yet, despite that, we just can't stop hitting repeat.
