Rob's a hit as Irish rugby sex symbol
Sunday November 29 2009
It's all in his tackle. That's all I can say. Rob Kearney has taken over from Brian O'Driscoll as the Ireland rugby team's sex symbol. And last Saturday night in Krystle we could see why.
Firstly, he was deep in chat with First Option model and Spin DJ Sheena O Buachalla. Well, the two dated briefly last year so they had a reason to be engrossed in chat.
But sexy Sheena wasn't the only attractive young thing to make a beeline for the Irish rugby team's best-looking player in Krystle on Saturday night. Assets model Ruth O'Neill, of Total Xposure fame, was chatting to a potential suitor until Rob walked in the door. Ruth then walked over to him -- leaving the guy she had been chatting with -- to banter with Rob.
Sheena and Ruth dated Rob at different times last year but it seems the heart-throb has left an impression on both single girls. (Another Assets model, Sarah McGovern, left Dublin with her husband Kenny Vaughan to travel around South America until the end of January.)
Meanwhile, the woman who is marrying Brian O'Driscoll, Amy Huberman, had a practice run for her marriage at her friend Sarah Doherty's wedding recently, where she was a bridesmaid in a purple chiffon dress.
Amy, the bride and the bridesmaids all got on stage and sang to the crowd at one point in the night.
