Irish fans watching Ireland v England on TV3 got an awful fright

We're not supposed to be panicking until from 2.45pm onwards.

But Ireland fans watching the build-up to Grand Slam Saturday on TV3 probably started having heart palpitations when they saw their pictures disappearing. Virgin Media Ireland customers tuning in to watch coverage of England v Ireland from Twickenham were left scrambling when the service confirmed they were having some problems. https://twitter.com/VirginMediaIE/status/975006325636763649 https://twitter.com/VirginMediaIE/status/975009248684933120 In fairness to them, they made a quick decision to make the coverage available live on TV3+1. https://twitter.com/VirginMediaIE/status/975012534465060865 For such a massive game, at such a critical time, we can only imagine the chaos engulfing the Virgin Media Ireland offices at around 2pm on Saturday afternoon. They were able to find a quick solution though and viewers can sit back and enjoy the game. Who are we kidding? Nobody will be sitting back and relaxing for this game! https://twitter.com/chunky66/status/975012492450689026 https://twitter.com/VirginMediaIE/status/975015191887872000
