The cheeky post triggered mixed reactions on Twitter with many users suggesting the Welsh star went a little bit too far with his stretching.
“On seeing this, my toast was spat across the table.....and for some reason, I lost any sense of hunger,” wrote former England rugby captain Will Carling, responding to the tweet.
The truth is, @jiffyrugby I was looking through twitter this morning, eating my toast. On seeing this, my toast was spat across the table.....and for some reason, I lost any sense of hunger......🤢🤢😂😂 https://t.co/LY0s2i5rOg

Others ridiculed Davies’ far-from-being-perfect physical shape comparing him with Hindu god Buddha.
