Holy shit , imagine the carnage if both of his eyes worked properly?

[Kirwan]

Good on him. I wonder what it's like when he plays in the rain?

He'll need little windscreen wipers on them.

I only remember Italian international Ian McKinley wearing goggles. Have there been more players playing test rugby with them?

Ian McKinley: Italy's Irish Super Hero - italy

IN THE SPOTLIGHT: For some rugby players being partially blind would be enough to hang up your boots, however not for Italian international Ian McKinley.

He wasn't exactly Brad Shields was he.

It may look unusual, but protecting your eyesight is more important than looking cool.

If he was worried about looking cool the sideshow Bob haircut isn’t helping, actually the eyesight might explain the hairstyle choice.

i couldn't give a fuck about how it looks.

As someone who lives and spends a lot of time training in a high heat, high humidity environment, i have a little experience about how glasses and goggles deal with it. I'll be very interested to see how he deals with that. If he drops a ball because there is sweat on his lenses people are going to lose their shit.

[Machpants]

@mariner4life unfortunately he hasn't been training in them all week, otherwise they would have discovered and sorted all these issues.

[mariner4life]

@Machpants training and games, very much the same thing

[KiwiMurph]

@mariner4life it is when you are playing Canada.

that is a very fair point.

[taniwharugby]

@mariner4life think how much better he should be if he can now see shit.

After the Higher Ground of SA, he'll be a Master Blaster against Canada, have a little Faith My Cherie Amour.
