Paul Kimmage's appearance on the Saturday Night Show was very controversial. Says who? Well you do, that who. Judging by the twitter reaction anyway. You can watch the interview here
Cian Healy was very irked by what Kimmage had to say, and took to twitter to act as rugby's defendant.
Rugby is one size fits all now apparently.....

He wasn't the only one annoyed by Kimmage's interview however, as there are reports that a representative of World Rugby accosted Kimmage after the interview.
1/3 The most interesting moment on @RTESatnightshow? The lady purporting to be from @WorldRugby who accosted me after the show.

2/3 "You're talking through your hat," she said. "There's no doping in rugby and we've made great progress on concussion." She had my ear...

3/3 for a moment and then she says "I know what your problem is...it's just sour grapes because of the @BrianODriscoll book."

Hope this lady doesn't work for you @WorldRugby because if this is how your engage with serious issues your sport is fucked.

Some folks thought this was hilarious:
Others realise he's doing great work, but can't stand him:
Others realised how awkward things were getting:
While others plain just don't like him:
Something very unlikeable about Paul Kimmage on the Sat night show
