Referee Wayne Barnes has caught the ire of fans online for his handing out of a yellow card to French prop Uini Antonio.
In a huge collision the 150kg Antonio caught Ireland Hooker Rob Herring with a high tackle in which he appeared not to wrap his arms.
Barnes only handing out a yellow card instead of a red has been branded as ‘ridiculous’ by a number of pundits and fans online.
The decision prompted Irish fans to believe that Barnes has a personal issue when refereeing the men in green.
On the other side of the argument, fan felt Antonio should not have been punished for the tackle at all.
