Alongside Conor Murray and Cian Healy, Peter O'Mahony played his last home game for Ireland this afternoon, as they were badly beaten by France at the Aviva Stadium.
Naturally, Irish fans watching were none too pleased.
Kerry legend Kieran Donaghy also took to X to call out the camera work.

"They can create something from nothing, with go forward ball and that's what happened two or three times in a row,"

O'Mahony was taken off for Jack Conan in the 48th minute of the 42-27 defeat, but instead of showing an icon of Irish rugby leave the field of play, the broadcast on RTÉ was focused on referee Angus Gardner.
He said: "RTE not showing @peterom6 jogging off was some mess up. One of Irelands greats on his last big day of putting his body on the line and we looking at the ref walking around the place"
