Leinster rugby star Scott Vardy enjoyed his trip to Parnell Park to cheer on Wexford last Sunday.

The former Australian international got into the spirit of things by donning a Model County training top that was given to him by his team-mate Tadhg Furlong who was a dab hand at the small ball code in his younger years.

"I just can't believe Tadhg Furlong used to run around with them,” Vardy quipped when speaking to the Irish Independent.

“He got me that jacket a while ago. He had promised to take me a while ago but we couldn't get down to Wexford so the game being where it was meant it was nice and close so we headed over.

“He's got nicknames for all the lads. He's just yelling out their names. I love the crowd, I love how passionate they are about the game. It was the same when I went to Croke Park with guys screaming out. I enjoyed that.

“I went to the Clare-Galway semi-final last year in Croke Park. That went to a replay so I haven't seen a win or a loss yet!”
