Sean O’Brien and James Haskell are officially roomies.

The Lions have landed safe and sound in New Zealand ahead of their first tour game this Saturday against the Provincial Barbarians. They were greeted by an incredible Haka when they landed and are already enjoying what Auckland has to offer before making the trip to Whangarei.

One of the best things about Lions tours is the roommate pairings, which usually sees players from different countries bunking together in order to get to know each other.

Ireland’s Sean O’Brien has been paired off with England’s James Haskell on the first night and it’s already making for some hilarious results. O’Brien is stunned that Haskell paints his toenails, while the Wasps man has likened O’Brien’s feet to that of a Hobbits.

Banter.
