Iain Henderson ends up baring backside in cheeky moment in Ulster defeat

Iain Henderson bared all in a heartbreaking defeat for Ulster in their URC semi-final against the Stormers in Cape Town.

Having conceded two early tries, Ulster fought back strongly with tries from Robert Baloucoune and Stewart Moore to go ahead.

And the last remaining province in the competition were leading all to the last play of the game when Warrick Gelant scored in the corner and Manie Libbok converted to seal a 17-15 victory for the Stormers.

But many easily amused social media users were talking about an unfortunate incident involving the Ulster captain Henderson.

When trying to repel a Stormers drive for the line, Henderson ended up exposing his rear end after his shorts were dragged down in the maul, and it was exposed for some time. Of course the jokes were flying on social media.

"Iain Henderson giving body and hole there for the cause," one said.

Another joked: "Iain Henderson was left wide open there."

Henderson, 30, had a great game for Ulster and was one of many of their players who didn't deserve to come out on the losing end of this semi-final.

But after Leinster's loss in the other semi-final, the decider of the URC will be an all-South African affair with the Stormers taking on the Bulls.
