barrygeo - As noted, I've nothing to say (in the negative) about Irish fans. As regards any 'disrepect', from what I remember of reports from this side of the Sea, the events had more to do with lousy organisation on the part of the Irish RU & English concentration on the job in hand (let's face it - Ireland is A Power in rugby these days, & not to be taken lightly!). There was, IMHO, no deliberate slight toward the Irish Premier whatsoever. In all honesty, I can't imagine even a soccer team being so crass, never mind rugby!!
