I'm just sick of their sanctimonious sh-sh ing as though they are the sole guardians of the morals of the game while one of their forwards has their fingers in someone's eye.

The Terrace Police I call them, where infact, they have about as much authority to sh-sh the person stood next to them as a broken down dinner lady!

I think the problem we have with what happened is not the booing itself (it happens pretty much everywhere else) as with the hypocrisy - the Irish have for some time adopted a 'holier than thou' attitude, where they pretend that they are super fair-play. (This never applies to what really happens on the field, of course!) Unfortunately for them they simply couldn't take losing a tight game they expected to win, and their pretence broke down.

It was noticeable that the Irish booed 1/2p's attempted conversion of what no-one could pretend was anything other than a legitimate try, by North, 5min before the end. The final penalty was correctly awarded (as was the card, if you slo-mo the replay and see what Ferris tried to do), so booing that was also out of order (though TBH I'd probably have done it if the roles had been reversed - you don't have replays at the ground, usually).

If the Irish are honest with themselves, they'll realise that Wales should have won by more (there was nothing wrong with Ryan's try, and if the ref had asked a different question it would have been awarded). Rhys P let them off another 3 points.

Just suck it up, Irish!
