Someone decided to scrap playing 'Zombie' after every try Ireland scored in their Six Nations clash with Wales on Saturday.

The Cranberries hit blasted out around the Aviva Stadium each time Andy Farrell's men got a try against Italy earlier this month, but it was not played after Ireland's two opening tries against the Welsh.

A number of fans complained about the decision to play the song after each try, saying it was "really annoying".

One wrote at the time: "Zombie will get really, really annoying it the Aviva play it for every single try."

Someone else said: "Still not sure how I feel about Ireland using Zombie as their celebration music every time they score a try."

Another person commented: "Aviva playing Zombie after every try the rugby equivalent of an aunt hearing you liked trains when you were 8 and so every birthday card for the next 20 years has a train on it."

And it appears that the concerns of fans were listened to and acted upon for Saturday's match.

'Zombie' became the unofficial anthem of Andy Farrell's side during last year's World Cup in France, with fans and players alike belting it out after victories.
