Munster's 'WWE Champ' Craig Casey gives cheeky reaction to horror Stade Francais red card
The Munster Rugby scrum-half took to Instagram to state he was 'still the WWE Champ'
Munster Rugby scrum-half Craig Casey cheekily reacted to Stade Francais red card with an Instagram post after the opening round victory over the Paris outfit in the Investec Champions Cup.
Ian Costello's charges ran out bonus-point winners with a five try 33-7 win in Thomond Park over the weekend with Stade receiving not one but two red cards during the second-half of the encounter.
The first of which came just after the break when Munster were just two tries ahead of their opponents. It was second-row Pierre Azagoh who received the first red card offence after he caught Peter O'Mahony in the head with a flying arm.
The incident was quickly followed by another as Baptise Pesenti became the second Stade Francais player to be sent off within five minutes
The second French player was punished for lifting Craig Casey up into the air and flipping him in a dangerous fashion that saw him turned upside down and dropped back into the ground.
While this tackle could have lead to a serious injury for Casey, the Ireland International clearly saw the funny side to the incident.
The Munster scrum-half took to Instagram to share a selection of images from Saturday afternoon's game while also including WWE photos and a photo of Casey posing with one of the WWE belts.
In the caption Casey joked that he was "head over heels to be back with Munster in Thomond again. Still the WWE champ though."
