Social media users say 'we've failed as a country' as Paul McGrath on look out for Ireland v England tickets

Social media users have said 'we've failed as a country' as Paul McGrath continues his hunt for Six Nations tickets.

The Ireland legend took to social media and says he is on the hunt for two tickets for Ireland's game against England next weekend.

Posting on Twitter, McGrath said: "Looking to buy two rugby tickets for Ireland v England on March 18th at the Aviva. Can anyone help me please".

And users were shocked one of Ireland's greats could not get his hands on tickets.

One user said: "If Paul McGrath can’t get 2 tickets sorted, we’ve failed as a country!".

While another joked: "Just show up Paul, anyone who refuses you entry is a treasonous enemy of the state".

And another added: "Just walk up without one you are Paul MaGrath after all".

Ireland take on England next Saturday at the Aviva Stadium in what could be the Grand Slam decider.
