Referee Ben O'Keeffe has shared insight into the online abuse he suffered after officiating Ireland's hard-fought 13-10 win over Australia.
Andy Farrell's side emerged victorious in a fixture that was fraught with stoppages due to infringements. Both teams had cause to quarrel over decisions but eventually finished with 12 penalties apiece, with the Wallabies disappointed not to have beaten the No. 1 team in the world.
While most rugby fans look forward to any Test window, the Autumn internationals are not largely considered a high-stakes event. But that didn't prevent some supporters from directing disgust at O'Keeffe, which he shared via his official Instagram account.
