This sporting metaphor about getting back on the horse got sublimely out of control – the only 4 reactions you need
After the London-based rugby union team lost by 53 – 21 to Clermont Auvergne, the Harlequins’ Joe Marler gave a positive interview to his own club about their upcoming match, but it wasn’t like any sports interview you’ll have heard before. Be sure to watch right to the end – there’s a twist.

We’ll all be disappointed if future sports interviews don’t include relentless metaphor, animal impressions and a deeply ironic payoff. Here’s how people have been reacting to the spectacular comedy short.

You think this interview has peaked when the horse starts apologising to Harlequins fans but it hasn’t. pic.twitter.com/YNjYH69uCw

Twitter user @nichol_mat came to the only reasonable conclusion about the Harlequins’ upcoming match.
Well of course they’re going to win if they’re on horses. It’s a hugely unfair advantage.

It’s just not rugby.
