Head coach Andy Farrell condemned online critics, calling them "keyboard warriors," after Ireland's 20-13 Six Nations win over Italy, denying that fans booed fly-half Sam Prendergast when he was replaced by Jack Crowley.
Farrell said the crowd's noise was in support of Crowley’s introduction, praising his composure and contributions, including a conversion and penalty, despite a missed late kick.
He acknowledged Prendergast’s frustration after missing two simple conversions but emphasized that such moments are part of player development.
Farrell urged fans to support players rather than attack them, warning that online negativity harms young athletes.
