Reigning Olympic Gold Medallists, Fiji mounted a furious comeback to defeat Ireland 19 – 15 in their quarterfinal matchup at the Stade de France.
Holding the ascendancy for the bulk of the contest, Ireland scored three tries through Zac Ward and Chay Mullins (2) but failed to land any of their conversions.
As one would expect with Fiji, they struck from a long-range for their scores, and they dazzled with three moments of magic to score.
One of their scores, however, has set rugby Twitter alight, with many claiming their second try came courtesy of a knock from the kick-off.
In real-time, the Irish players could be seen protesting with the referee to check with the TMO, but to no avail.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), many including former England flyhalf Andy Goode highlighted the incident which has caused debate amongst fans.
