Gary Halpin Dead: Halpin played multiple times for Ireland and scored an attempt against New Zealand at the 1995 World Cup. Previous Ireland star Jerry Flannery honored Halpin via web-based media, recalling his scandalous festival against the All Blacks.

The forward gave the finger to Kiwi star Sean Fitzpatrick in the wake of landing and later conceded that he lamented the occurrence as Ireland went on to a 43-19 misfortune.

He expressed: “Gary Halpin RIP. One of my #1 players when I was a child. You should be somewhat mental to check the @AllBlacks the finger subsequent to scoring out. Bold.
