Jamie Heaslip reveals his worst room-mates

Former Ireland and Lions number eight Jamie Heaslip is asked to name his worst room-mate, and ends up naming more than just one former team-mate!

After revealing his scariest room-mates were Johnny O'Connor and Phil Vickery, Heaslip moved onto Andy Powell, a Lions team-mate he stayed with during the 2009 tour to South Africa.

Remembering one moment in their room, Heaslip said: "There was pizza stuck to the ceiling of the room, it just typified Powelly and his craziness.

"He said he came in himself, brought me pizza back but then didn't want to wake me up so he thought it would make sense to put it on the roof so I'd see it in the morning.

"I don't know what he was thinking!"

Heaslip was speaking to Ugo Monye and Chris Jones on the latest Rugby Union Weekly podcast.
