HALLOWEEN may be over for another year but that hasn’t stopped some from staying in the spooky spirit.
Irish rugby player AJ MacGinty fits into that category after giving his Sale Sharks team-mate Mike Phillips a fright on a recent squad trip.
Fly-half MacGinty hid in a hotel laundry basket before jumping out on Welshman Phillips, whose reaction to the shock had his team-mates in hysterics.
Dubliner MacGinty is a Blackrock College graduate who played last season with Connacht before his switch to the English Premiership.
He represents the USA national rugby team having spent four years in America playing club rugby in New York and Georgia.
