Controversy As Twitter Spat Turns Foul - Lainncli - 05-29-2017 How easy is it to drop down draft boards in the last few days before the big night? Far too easy apparently for rugby union converts Kieran O'Connell and Luke Tiernan clashed violently on Twitter, both utilising sexual slurs and lashing out at the other's family members. While Tiernan claimed to have had sexual relations with O'Connell's sister and made disparaging remarks about the Scot's intelligence, O'Connell alleged that his fellow running back prospect had sexual relations with his own father and predicted Tiernan would go undrafted. The dispute had arisen from a press conference the night before, Kieran O'Connell's first since his Pittsburgh farewell in the Atlantic Conference Championship Game. During the course of the presser a journalist posed to Kieran that Tiernan was the better, faster, stronger prospect, something O'Connell viciously dismissed. "He's slow, he can't block, he's never an option out the backfield, I'm no sure he entirely understands the game. He might be the Tullow Tank, but in pads he's like a roller without a tractor. You line him up against a cornerback or a scrum-half and he'll ran the poor bastard over, but he can't meet the challenge if a team stacks against him. He's a useful option once or twice in the game, but that's it." Tiernan soon fired back on Twitter, implying in a tweet that O'Connell was simply jealous of his size - The Irishman stands one inch taller and twenty pounds heavier than his counterpart. In response O'Connell compared him to a cow. From there, it devolved - Tiernan bringing O'Connell's sister into the spat, O'Connell suggesting incest on Tiernan's family farm. Even once the argument had broken down, the Glasgow-born Panther was sure to have the last word in his native Scots saying "sum fowk fuckin haver" - Suggesting Tiernan had started the spat and that his words had little substance. Although both sides appear to have made an effort to delete the worst of the conversation, we here were able to capture evidence of the fight as it was in full flow. It remains to be seen what effect this may have on either's draft stock, but it surely cannot be positive.
