Wales scrum-half Mike Phillips has challenged One
Direction's Niall Horan to train with the Welsh squad after the singer
criticised him on Twitter.
Phillips
was in a scuffle during Saturday's match against Ireland, which Wales lost
26-3, prompting the Irish singer to tweet that the player looked an
"arrogant idiot".
The
rugby star replied: "Come down to training in the week big boy. And bring
the rest of the Beatles with you."
Horan
declined the offer.
The
One Direction star had been following his national side during the game in
Dublin, tweeting: "C'mon Ireland! Wohooo! Fantastic first half hour".
But
following the altercation between Phillips and some of the Ireland team, he
added: "Mike Philips is like a child throwing his toys out of the pram!
his attitude is terrible, looks like a right arrogant idiot".
The
comment was re-tweeted 41,676 times.
Phillips
made his reply the following day then followed up with a picture of himself and
Irish player Rob Kearney - who was also involved in the scuffle - in a friendly
pose, congratulating Kearney on his side's win.
Kearney
joined in with a tweet to Horan telling him: "Don't worry - I've got your
back."
The
spat continued with Horan refusing Phillips's challenge saying he would
"only go and watch good teams anyway, so no thanks".
Phillips
replied with a picture of himself, asking: "Fair play to you but imagine
how big you would be if you looked like this ! @NiallOfficial #£££
#banter".
