There was a rather bizarre moment during Ireland's Six Nations clash with France when the referee had to change his whistle.
Australian official Angus Gardner walked to the edge of the Stade de France pitch and asked for a replacement whistle as he seemed to have a problem with the one he started the game with.
Fans were amused by the incident and couldn't resist having a laugh about it on social media.
One person said: "Referee changing his whistle! I've seen it all!"
Another posted the following comment with laughing emojis: "Referee needs to change his whistle…"
Roared on by a passionate home crowd, France made a rapid start to the match and raced into a 10-0 lead.
Antoine Dupont collected a pass from Romain Ntamack to touch down the opening try of the evening, with Melvyn Jaminet adding the extras and then kicking a penalty minutes later.
Ireland swiftly reduced the deficit to 10-7 thanks to Mack Hansen’s maiden Test try, which was converted by Carbery.
France led 19-7 at the break following a further three penalties from full-back Jaminet.
Ireland reduced their deficit to 22-14 in the opening minutes of the second period.
Jaminet’s fifth penalty of the evening initially stretched France’s advantage before Josh Van Der Flier powered over to claim a second try for the Irish, which was converted by Carbery.
A pulsating encounter has continued to flow from end to end.
After Van Der Flier’s score, Gibson-Park ghosted through the middle to touch down beneath the posts just five minutes later, with Carbery’s conversion leaving Ireland just a point behind at 22-21.
Sensing a momentum shift, the home crowd raised the noise levels and their side responded as Cyril Baille claimed Les Bleus’ second try of the evening to make it 27-21.
