Watch: “”That’s a f****** disgrace” – Paul O’Connell wasn’t happy with a call from the referee

Too right Paulie.

Ramiro Herrera is a lucky man. The Argentine tight-head prop, who'd already been sin binned during his side's Rugby World Cup quarter-final against Ireland, escaped furthered punishment for this shoulder charge in the 54th minute. After consulting with the TMO, referee Jerome Garces awarded Ireland the penalty, but opted against giving Herrera a red card. The decision didn't go well with Ireland's injured captain Paul O'Connell. We're not expect lip readers, but we reckon Paulie referred to the call as a "f****** disgrace." o'connell https://twitter.com/DaveBarry15/status/655739891784003584 At least we think O'Connell was referring to the ref's call, he may have also been annoyed because of a popular video game. https://twitter.com/Ciaranob123/status/655733279853813761 https://twitter.com/BenQuinn75/status/655738187281780736 https://twitter.com/Al_McElroy/status/655733899406934016
