Here's an extract titled "Foul Mouths in Thomond Park" from his column on Monday and he certainly doesn't pull any punches:
"We have often had cause to marvel at the wonderful Munster support, that travelling tribe that follows them round Europe, the raucous backdrop that is Thomond Park. Sadly, there is another side.
"On Friday night, my eardrums were assailed by the most foul-mouthed obscenities I have heard at a rugby ground. Most of it featured the C word. Most of it was directed at Chris Ashton. And it was unrelenting.
"The Thomond crowd pride themselves on observing strict silence for goal-kickers. And they duly did so. Then the stream of filth started again.
"One Munster fan, a woman, tried a word of censure. It had no effect. It was debasing. Rugby often takes the high moral ground in relation to football. It has no grounds for complacency.
"Of course, this moronic little gathering is a minority. Peer group pressure did not work in silencing them. It is time stewards or the Garda did."
