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.
However, in response to Donaghy, the group head of RTÉ Sport, Declan McBennett explained the Six Nations were the host broadcaster, not the Irish TV station.
After the game, captain Caelan Doris said: "It was a bit of a rollercoaster. I thought we started well, but we didn't convert, we weren't clinical enough early on.

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

Ex-England star in frame for Ireland squad after superb Munster debut
A quality signing it seems! The signing of Kieran Brookes was met with scepticism by some Munster supporters, earlier this year; and, indeed, the signing of a 36-year-old, who hadn’t played international rugby since 2016 – bar an appearance for the Barbarians – didn’t seem on par with the signing of hooker, and South Africa […]
