Kearney pranks salesmen in Audi Q7 promo

A still of Kearney in the clip with RTÉ’s Aidan Power

Rugby star Rob Kearney showed his funny side when he took part in a prank video to promote the launch of the new Audi Q7 recently.

The Leinster and Ireland star, who is preparing for next month’s World Cup at present, took two car salesmen for a test drive but little did they know they were being filmed by hidden camera as the Willville man was egged on by his team-mates Peter O’Mahony and Robbie Henshaw and RTÉ’s Aidan Power.

The hilarious clip features Kearney’s supposed fear of roundabouts, his claims he could beat Brian O’Driscoll in a fight, a couple of Conor McGregor impressions and some questionable animal noises.
