The Lights Went Out On The Leinster Match Last Night And The Craic Was Had

Leinster and Glasgow played out a thrilling game of rugby at the RDS last night which saw the home side scrape through 31-30 winners.

With just 90 seconds to go however, and with Leinster about to seal the important victory, the floodlights at the stadium gave way.

Of course, the crowd reacted like only an Irish crowd can, with guffaws and chuckles.

The sight of of approximately 15,000 hearty souls lighting up the arena with their phones was pretty impressive and, as always when things go wrong, brought about some witty comments on Twitter:

Switch on the lights I need to file..... #rds #LeinsterRugby pic.twitter.com/f5kyUPrxTh

Still a big 90 seconds to be played to decide this game once the lights come back on! Frustrating for both teams as we wait... #LEIvGLA
