The Irish rugby coach Andy Farrell couldn’t make the RTE sports awards on Saturday night and some lads online are seeing this as a problem. Farrell does have a life outside of rugby and unfortunately the awards clashed with something, see some of the comments below;

🚨Roy Keane slams Virgil van Dijk for his comments after Man United draw🤬

Bizarre stuff when some managers actually won stuff with their teams this year. https://t.co/BJbQCB2HbZ

Grand Slam, bit like Superbowl winners being “world champions” – rugby is a minority sport (played mostly (French excepted) by colonies of the Empire!!).

Vera Pauw won it last year even though she only won a couple of matches. It should have been either Andy Farrell or John Kiely or Eamonn Murray ,did you make a comment then.

Manager of the Year for achieving what exactly?

Went into a tournament overhyped and failed to deliver with a team that people said were the best Irish team ever.

The ex Irish manager won the battle!
