The vast majority of Irish sports fans strongly disliked Mike Brown going into Saturday's Six Nations clash with England at Twickenham, and the hatred only grew stronger after the England full-back scored a pivotal try in the game before recklessly kicking Conor Murray in the head while the Irish scrumhalf lay on the ground.
Referee Romain Poite and his assistant decided that his actions were accidental for what would cause Conor Murray to be removed from the action, because it's grand to go swiping your feet around another players head in the hope of possibly dislodging the ball it seems, and the Irish fans were up in arms.
Brown showed the World his true colours with his post-match interview against Wales during the Rugby World Cup, but his swipes around Murray's head really set the Irish fans off:
That's disgraceful from @mikebrown_15 ... Come on ref sort that out

Mike Brown really endearing himself to every non-English person around. Real charmer and what an ambassador for the sport. Classy #ENGvIRE

Hope the citing commissioner has a look again at Mike Brown's dangerous and reckless kicking to Murray's face. #ENGvIRE

If Mike Brown isn't kicking the opposition players in the face, he's celebrating a decision their faces. Colossal prick. #ENGvIRE
