So, "well deserved" or "not in the spirit of rugby"?

If she’s easily offended and triggered by things journalism
isn’t for her. Obviously there are some idiots out there who can
say terrible things which are bordering on criminal offences,
but in the whole of you are on social media you have to take the
rough with the smooth.

:D Harrowing!
She really is a big jessie. Not to mention a tedious
interviewer.

The abuse is unacceptable.
Putting players on the spot in the hope of drama is not clever,
but is a symptom of the business not the individual.
Asking Alan Wyn Jones his thoughts on the Wales knock on
immediately after the game in the hope of drama is just silly.

The abuse is unacceptable. However, asking the same question
over and over is not, in my eyes, fearless journalism. It's just
trying to generate headlines for tomorrow. As a professional, SM
would know that coaches and players get jumped on from a great
height if they dare criticise a referee. So she already knew she
was trying to inveigle OF into saying something he shouldn't,
presumably relying on the fact he was knackered, upset and
feeling he hadn't been treated fairly she was hoping for some
sort of outburst. Good for OF that he remembered his media
training and just played it with a straight bat.
The interviewer is there as a representative of the rugby fans
to get each captain's view as to how the game went. Obviously
you only get a very limited time with each player, so why waste
it on three questions where we learned absolutely nothing? I
realised from Farrell's first answer that he was going to bat
away every attempt to get him to criticise the referee - why did
it take SM two more questions?

She's not a rugby specialist, is she? Just a generalist sports
reporter (typical of the BBC nowadays)? If so, I don't think
it's fair to expect any more from her. Clearly it was pretty
poor journalism, but all that said, there is no excuse
whatsoever for personal nastiness directed at her by online
trolls. I'm very sad that it meant she left in tears because of
that — it's totally unacceptable (same would be true if it was a
male reporter who left in tears because he had received the same
kind of comments).

She's been doing pitch side interviews at international rugby
matches for years and is in my opinion has never added anything
to the occasion. That doesn't mean she should suffer abuse
however.
I thought the best thing Owen Farrell did yesterday was to
retain his patience with her questioning and not to simply walk
away.

I despise this trend of channeling metoo and claiming abuse. She
wasn't abused, she was criticised for a horrific set of
questions she knew full well couldn't be answered. She has done
this for a decade, she is utterly toxic. You live by the sword
etc.
Tweeting out her distress for the feminists and non-fans to ride
to her rescue is just pathetic. She's got a reputation as a
pitbull interviewer, anyone who believes she actually cried can
buy this bridge.

Mate. If you don't think sonja m, who has been doing pitch side
interviews for at least a decade, doesn't know full well the
implications of players and coaches criticising refereeing
decisions then you are crazy.
