These Irish fans pulled off a prank on the big screen before the rugby match in London

Would Michael Collins and Padraig Pearse please make their way to lost and found?

IRELAND ARE JUST about to play Romania in the Rugby World Cup over in London.

Outside Wembley, some fans couldn’t help but have a bit of a gag when waiting in the fan zone.

Yes, a banner went across the big screen requesting Michael Collins and Padraig Pearse to come to lost and found:

From a friend at Wembley.

Half the country seems to be knocking around the stadium, so maybe the lads are too

Whoops!

We couldn't find this Tweet

Obviously every Irish person there got quite a chuckle out of it

Nobody has claimed credit for the gag yet.

Pre-match #bants at its finest.
