Tadhg Beirne’s theatrics have come under some heavy criticism in the wake of the game on social media, as the Irish second-row seemed to go down with minimal contact
SOCIAL REACTION:
So Jacob Stockdale apologised for his error. Feel sorry for the bloke. But has Tadhg Beirne said sorry for diving yet?

100% with you on this Flats. Diving should be highlighted, ridiculed and the players doing it should be shamed into desisting. Absolutely unacceptable with no place in rugby, yet has become too common lately.

Excellent analysis on it although I think your pulling your punches, we all hate diving in football and we need to call it out and expect it to be dealt with in rugby.

Found a replay of the crucial Tadhg Beirne / Schoeman incident. Hope Tadhg is ok #prayfortadhg pic.twitter.com/q7yJwiZplI

Sean O’Brien did a similar thing in the 6 Nations. Rugby is becoming like football when it comes to diving to milk penalties and needs to be stamped out early
