French rugby is trying to get its hands on Trevor Brennan's beast of a son

Daniel Brennan has been included in the France U17 squad.

EVER SINCE FORMER Ireland international Trevor Brennan sent a tweet back in 2012, Irish rugby fans have relished the prospect of his son Daniel potentially playing for Ireland one day.

After all, if you are able to squat your rugby player dad at age 14, then it’s likely you might have some potential for destruction on the rugby pitch.

But today’s news will make Irish fans despair ahead of a huge weekend of rugby as the younger Brennan has been included in a French U17 squad for a tournament with USA, Italy and England.

Interestingly, Brennan’s Toulouse team-mate Romain Ntamack is also included, who is the son of French legend Emile Ntamack.

But before fans lament the loss of one half of Ireland’s eventual second row partnership of ‘Big ‘N’ Tall’ (Iain Henderson and Brennan), it is worth remembering that representing France at U17 doesn’t make him ineligible for Ireland.

And whether he ends up playing in green or blue, it will be fascinating to see how he develops over the next few years.

Remember the time an Irish TMO denied Ireland the Six Nations in a points difference thriller?

Super Rugby has a new juggernaut and they look irresistible at the moment

    As an Ulster supporter I hope he declares for France. His father has never shown any remorse for what he did.

    He didn’t punch him ‘cos he was from Ulster.
    He punched him ‘cos he was mouthing filth.

    Any one that tries to justify a professional sportsman entering a crowd and assaulting someone is no better than Brennan.

    Anyone who takes it upon himself to personally insult the parents of a towering rugby player to his face needs a behaviour reassessment.

    Having spoken to him many times in his pub in Tolouse, he is nothing but the most fantastic host and a really nice person. I guess that Ulster supporter’s mouth was just too big. If you say something that nasty to Trevor then you got it coming to you.
