A teenager almost had Ireland’s sexiest rugby player on her arm for her Debs later this year.
Conor Murray accidentally agreed to Nicole Fitz’s Twitter request to attend her student ball by making her message go viral.
The Munster star responded to Nicole’s message ‘If I get 150 RTs will you come debs with me?’ with ‘It’s not looking good so far’ and a thumbs down emoji – but the tweet has been retweeted almost 300 times since he gave it attention.
The teen was quick to reply and shot back with, ‘close enough for you to say yes?’, while her friends then got on board. ‘If you go on her debs I’ll let your mate Ian Madigan come on mine x’ one wrote, while another tweeted: ‘255 retweets there Conor.. Looks like you’ll be dusting off your tux!’
However, Conor soon broke the news to Nicole that he wouldn’t be able to join her at her grad, but she seemed to take the news pretty well.
She shared his private message to her followers, which read: “Hey Nicole, apologies, I can’t really go to your debs but well done on getting so many retweets. Will you send me your address and I’ll send you a signed jersey. Best of luck!”
“My day has been made !!@ConorMurray_9 what a nice guy,” she tweeted.
He’ll learn from that one!
