Edwin on debut.

See a lot of comments questioning this lads ‘Irishness’ even tho he was actually born in the country unlike Lowe, Gibson-Park, Mack Hansen and Bundi Aki, and I’ve never seen their Irishness ever questioned 🤔🤔🤔

What about the other players on debut. Why is Irish media always pushing illegal Africans out front.

Shit gave away a penalty that almost cost the team a win, deport

So the lad was born in Ireland, went to school in Ireland, learn to play Rugby in Ireland, given opportunity by Ireland, now this halfwitts have problem with Him playing for Ireland. I'm sure you will be hurt more if He plays for other country.

Rugby is back to its rightful place as a garrison game.

Not very Irish is he

Comments referencing skin colour absolutely reek of desperation, envy and cluelessness. The good news is that idiots tweeting don’t make a blind bit of difference to whether this guy is chosen to play for Ireland or not. Good luck to him 👍🏼

African, not Irish.

As a neutral from S Africa, it's quite sad to see all the racist comments. I love the banter with the Irish as a Bok supporter, but that inherent respect is always there due to your history & your support for Palestine & my love for The Cranberries ☺️ I wish this player strength

Congrats on your debut. I hope you just had a bad game and there’s more to come because from that performance you looked lost and out of your depth. Mind you most of the team looked out of sync.

This is the fourth tweet in 2 days about a lad making his debut. He is either sensational which I suspect he isn’t or it’s just because of his skin colour. When was the last time so much was made about a lad sitting on a bench?

Taking a natives spot, send him to the Nigerian team

Congratulations Edwin. Best player on the field. Excellent performance all round. More to come

future eagles RT😆😂

You may support the colonisation of Ireland but don’t expect the Irish people to go along with it. He’s racist planter taking away an amazing opportunity from Irish lad.

Deport

He’s not Irish?

Its like an ad to leave Ireland

Quick lads, quick get the camera on the black fella. Hurry up. Tell everyone he’s Irish.

A sub Saharan African is not, and never will be Irish. A piece of paper will never change this.

Great performance so far, Prendergast experiment really proving a lot of people wrong here

Congratulations, Edwin! What a force on the field: the floppy Ireland scrum stiffened up.

He will be deported.

If he's Irish then I'm a unicorn

Hanging on against Italy new low 😂😂

@grok why is Irish Rugby obsessed with this particular player?

Minority sport for a reason

Well done Edwin 💚☘️💚

The comments really show how the Irish themselves forget they were cast aside like blacks were. “No blacks no Irish no dogs” …

This young man has worked hard and made his dream a reality. The wankspangles who use his skin colour to abuse him have never achieved anything in their miserable lives. Their racism has no place in Irish society. Hold your head high Edwin. 🇮🇪 👏 👏

DEI player. More woke ahite

Not Irish he’s black it’s that simple give me back the Irish players

He’s not Irish.

Scouting them black so you can challenge the Springboks
