While Ireland enjoyed a thrilling 27-22 victory against England, the incident left the victimized fans disgusted and questioning the presence of alcohol in stadium seating.
A group of rugby fans had their enjoyment cut short during Ireland 's Six Nations victory over England when a fellow spectator vomited on them at Dublin's Aviva Stadium. Forced to leave the game early, the friends expressed their disgust at the inconsiderate actions of the intoxicated fan. Ireland celebrated a thrilling 27-22 victory against England on Saturday, securing a bonus point win on home turf.
The team's success was marked by stellar tries from key players like Jamison Gibson-Park, Bundee Aki, Tadhg Beirne and Dan Sheehan as they staged a comeback in their first match under interim head coach Simon Easterby. However, the matchday experience for one group of friends turned sour when an inebriated fan behind them vomited on their seats before leaving without an apology. Speaking to RTE's Liveline, a man named Simon recounted the unpleasant incident. 'At the match on Saturday, just sitting in the south stand having a bit of fun. There were a bunch of young lads behind us, didn't know them from Adam, but they were enjoying the beer and lots more beer on the way through and with about 10 or 15 minutes to go, one of them just decided to barf all over us,' reports the Irish Mirror. 'It missed me but got two or three of my friends and they all had to leave 10-15 minutes early. Not a sorry from them, not a nothing, they just got up and left and just left a stinking mess behind them.' Concluding with disdain yet an undeterred spirit for future matches, he added, 'The worst of the worst. That's the worst outcome. Now it won't stop me from going to matches again, but I'll certainly be looking carefully over my shoulder.' Simon also expressed his openness to the idea of banning alcohol from the stands at matches. 'I'm coming to the conclusion that maybe there is an argument for not bringing beer to your seats,' he remarked. 'By all means go out to the bar at half-time or in the middle of the match if you're bored, go out and have a pint, do whatever you're doing, but it's the constant up and down and spilling beer on people and obviously what happened on Saturday is just one step too far really.
