Ireland fans were raging after Israel Folau’s mid-air tangle with Peter O’Mahony

The Ireland captain had to leave the field on play after 30 minutes.

Peter O'Mahony was in the wars in Ireland's Test decider against Australia. The Munster flanker hit the deck hard on three occasions in the opening half hour and, each time, Israel Folau was on the scene. Both men were going all out to claim the kick-off and a couple of re-starts and O'Mahony came off badly each time. He landed on his back after only five seconds but got straight back up and made a vital turnover just 50 seconds later. O'Mahony and Folau tangled again after 12 minutes but it was a fair contest. Again, the Irishman landed with a thump. It was their 28th minute collision that got Folau in hot water. https://twitter.com/tensporttv/status/1010473617849659392 Referee Pascal Gauzere looked to be giving just a penalty to Ireland but Johnny Sexton urged him to go to the TMO [Television Match Official] for an extra look. After some hesitation, the French referee went upstairs and the TMO stated:

"He's in a realistic position at first but then he plays the man in the air and pulls him down on his back. Penalty and yellow card."

The Wallabies fullback was far from happy with the call, and neither were the home fans. O'Mahony was carted off and he certainly did not look pleased himself. https://twitter.com/patmccarry/status/1010475989737107457 Nor did Irish fans... https://twitter.com/DavidDigan/status/1010476813020291072 https://twitter.com/EdwardDeThierry/status/1010476582870216704 https://twitter.com/dementedmole/status/1010473581900267523 https://twitter.com/j_6700/status/1010476818426662912 Contentious, to say the least.
