Alan Quinlan has people in fits of laughter with plea to his mother after Munster's URC title win

Alan Quinlan left his social media followers in fits of laughter as he pleaded with fans to send his mother home from Munster's title winning celebrations at Thomond Park on Monday evening.

The Reds legend said his mam Mary only returned home from South Africa on Monday morning and reported she was "on the tear again" following the province's URC title win.

He tweeted: "If anyone spots my mum in Thomond park tonight. Tell her to go home she’s only back from Capetown this morning and on the tear again. She told me earlier that she was very tired and going to bed early and then I get sent pictures of her in the middle of it."

Another commented: "Fair play to her - a moment too good to be missed - you somehow grab a second wind at times like this."

Someone else said: "Plenty of time next week for being tired! She was beside us for the trophy presentation, with AJ. What a woman, what a Gran, what a Munster fan. Legend."

One other tweet read: "Brilliant. Your mum is a legend!!"

Over 10,000 Munster fans were at Thomond Park on Monday evening to welcome home their heroes, who secured a first trophy in 12 years for the province on Saturday in Cape Town. The Reds ran out 19-14 winners over the Stormers.
