Many rugby fans were left frustrated watching Ireland's win over South Africa on Saturday due to a kit colour clash.
Ireland wore a dark kit with green elements at the Aviva Stadium, while the visitors wore their traditional dark green jersey.
Mack Hansen scored a scintillating try as Ireland shrugged off a host of injury setbacks to cement their status as rugby’s top-ranked nation by holding on for a tense 19-16 win over the world champions in Dublin.

Connacht wing Hansen lit up a pulsating Test match by gleefully diving over early in the second half to cap a spellbinding Irish move from right to left.
The eye-catching score added to a bulldozing effort from Josh van der Flier as Andy Farrell’s in-form hosts laid down a marker ahead of next year’s World Cup pool-stage meeting with the Springboks.
Scores from replacement Franco Mostert and Kurt-Lee Arendse brought the tourists to within touching distance late on but the hosts, aided by nine points from captain Johnny Sexton, dug in to begin their autumn campaign with a bang.
Victory, however, came at a cost as centre Stuart McCloskey, centurion Conor Murray and prop Tadhg Furlong were each forced off due to first-half injuries.
But it was the kit colour clash that had a lot of people talking on social media during the match.
One fan said: "Shocking kit colour clash, Ireland vs South Africa."
Another commented: "This Ireland v South Africa kit clash from the wide view is ridiculous. Can’t imagine how difficult it is if you’re colour blind."
Someone else tweeted: "Quite fortunate that the shorts are a different colour in the Ireland vs. South Africa game, but, I still think it's quite a big kit clash."
One other tweet read: "Ireland's change jersey of dark blue doesn't appear to have done much to solve the clash of colours against South Africa tonight."
Ireland face Fiji next weekend before a clash with Australia on November 19.
