Its sport, Ewan. It’s not life or death. If Irish rugby fans, most of whom paid a huge amount to be there and experience it, want to celebrate the occasion however they see fit, you in your misery pit in Brazil, are in no place to lecture them. Honestly, don’t know why you bother
Irish rugby fans literally standing and celebrating.
I'm genuine in saying this. Complete and utter losers.
