Channel 9 have copped it from fans on social media after the State of Origin broadcasters played that rather annoying Isuzu D-Max advert right after what appeared to be a serious injury to Jeremiah Nanai.
You know, the one which features Fleetwood Mac's hit song 'Go Your Own Way'?
Yes, we've all seen (and heard) it a million times over.
Not what you want to see 😔. Nanai being helped from the field with an ankle injury🙏

Well, it seems some viewers watching the series from the comfort of their own homes weren't too impressed when Channel 9 decided to play it during State of Origin Game 1.
In particular, they weren't best pleased that it was cranked full volume right after Queensland Maroons debutant Nanai suffered an injury to his knee.
Upon seeing the commercial come up on their TV screens, all while Nanai was rolling around in agony receiving treatment, rugby league fans flocked to social media to have their say on the matter.
