Foley vents frustration at refs

Stand-in Ireland forwards coach, Anthony Foley, says everyone involved with the team is sick and tired of having to put up with poor refereeing.

The incorrect decision to penalise Stephen Ferris in the final minute against Wales cost Ireland victory in their first Six Nations match, while head coach Declan Kidney admitted he was “disgusted” with the penalty count in the game against France.

The Irish management team were also unhappy rookie referee, Chris Pollock, during Saturday’s victory over Scotland, so Foley believes it’s high time Ireland were given fair play by match officials.
