England fans insist Ireland’s second try should not have counted
England fans have vented their anger online after Ireland’s second try of the match against England at Twickenham today.
The try came from a quick tap from Jamison Gibson-Park, who put Hugo Keenan in for the try. However, fans have complained that referee Mathieu Raynal should have stopped the game as prop Kyle Sinckler was down with a head injury.
A similar situation occurred in Italy versus Scotland earlier in the day, however, referee Luke Pearce stopped the game completely rather than allowing Scotland to play quickly five metres from Italy’s line after an Italian tackler took a knock to the head.

Quick thinking from Gibson-Park who feeds Keenan to squirm over and put Ireland in control at the break.#ITVRugby pic.twitter.com/XZaANeRW3b
