- England flanker Tom Curry takes questions in his swimmers after Leicester win
- Viewers enjoy the lighthearted interview with Irish presenter Craig Doyle
TNT Sports presenter Craig Doyle steamed up the airwaves when he surprised England rugby star Tom Curry in his post-match hot tub with a live interview.
The Irishman entered the pavillion after their 39-25 victory over Leicester on Saturday with microphone in hand and camera operator in tow.
Doyle kept ahead of the camera to scout out any nudity, exclaiming ‘I see some nakedness’ in warning as he made his way to the home dressing room.
The camera operator was forced to repeatedly wipe steam off the lense as Doyle then conducted an interview with Sale and England flanker Curry which was as amusing as it was awkward.
Doyle was soon interrupted from his questioning by the sight of a nude player entering the room – out of camera shot.
‘I can see someone’s bum,’ Doyle said. ‘Don’t you come out.’

After identifying the player as Tadgh McElroy, Doyle then commented of his compatriot: ‘That’s good Irish bottom that, isn’t it?’
Curry, 26, did at least assure viewers that he was wearing swimmers underneath the bubbles.
Fans saw the funny side of the exchange with one commenting on X: ‘Nice to see wokery (whatever that is) isn’t taking over the world anymore. Top presenting ! It’s just what rugby needs to draw more viewers in’.
While others seemed to enjoy the behind-the-scenes footage. ‘Oh my…top quality content,’ wrote another.
