Folks unless you have the facts behind the change, I'd lay off throwing up accusations on the FB Page. It may very well have been that Connacht Rugby took over the page at the request of the Women's Rugby group as they didn't have the resources to do it justice.

I'm not saying that is definitely the case, but it could easily be...!

Ireland lost 19-15 to France. An enjoyable game with the maul working well for Ireland but overall France probably deserved to win it imo. The ref unlike the English game wasn't a completer loon.
