Leinster kickstarted their bid for European glory with an emphatic 35-12 bonus point win over Pat Lahm's Bristol Bears in the Champions Cup on Sunday.
While the Bear's first-half performance would undoubtedly have left Lahm and his men questioning if they've done themselves justice, the club's social media admin has certainly been able to see the humorous side of it, releasing brilliant Leinster x The Office Tik-Toks, trolling James Ryan.
Bristol started off the better side on Sunday and were deservedly seven points to the better when Max Lahiff took advantage of Leinster's two yellow cards and crossed the whitewash.
That try marked the end of their dominance, however, as 13-man Leinster responded nearly instantly with a Jordan Larmour leveller.
It was cruise control for Leinster then who saw a second-half brace from Sam Prendergast, as well as tries from debutant Jordie Barrett and Josh van der Flier secure a bonus point win and end any resemblance of competition that had been expected in the clash.

Bristol Bears troll James Ryan on social media
After Leinster's win on Sunday, the Bristol Bears social media have been in top form taking to TikTok and trolling James Ryan with a classic clip from the Office UK.
The clip draws attention to a tense moment between James Ryan and Bristol flanker Santiago Grondona just moments before Bristol would score the opening try. Pat Lahm's side had just won a crucial penalty on Leinster's try-line when Ryan took umbrage with the flanker and shoved him to the ground.
Despite the incident going largely unnoticed during play, the Bear's admin didn't miss a beat, positing it clipped alongside Ricky Gervais' famous 'oooh you're hard' line from The Office.

The spirited video has already racked up over 85,000 views on TikTok, but it isn't the first time Leinster have been on the end of one of the Bristol Bears Office clips.
Before Sunday's game the Bears' admin had indulged in some slightly more self-deprecating humour, teasing the much anticipated Leinster debut of world-class back Jordie Barrett by clipping him into a Ricky Gervais dating scene from the office.

While Bristol's admin may not have been missing any opportunities to get the game out there, it was Ryan and his Leinster teammates who had the last laugh with their 35-12 win in Ashton Gate.
Leinster will be back in European action this weekend versus French side Clermont Auvergne, although knowing the Top 14 something tells me we won't see any cracking TikToks in the lead-up to that one.
