Twitter has reacted angrily to Sky Sports' latest Ireland graphic

It points out how many of the current squad are born outside the country.

WITH ALL THE talk of the players representing the birth country of their parents and granparents in the run-up to Scotland v Ireland, Sky Sports this morning produced this graphic.

It breaks down the current Ireland squad by the place of birth — with 15 born in the Republic, two more in Northern Ireland and the remaining ten coming from England and Scotland.

It hasn’t been received well on Twitter, however, with many calling it “irrelevant” and complaining that they haven’t done the same with other teams.
