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.
"Even that time we were held up, we could have a bit of scoreboard pressure and things could have been different.
"We thought we were in contention at half-time, we felt confident. We started well and thought we could go on to do it but that 25-minute period in the middle of the second half was where we just weren't good enough - our collisions, our discipline.
"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"
