He is fantastic every time he gets to play, it’s such a shame it’s so rarely

Interesting stuff for the folks who aren’t rabidly anti and appreciate a bit of nuance.

Yeah unfortunately I think I know the answer to this one

New Zealand deserve that one in the end. Never went away. Ireland didn’t close it out and paid the price.

Ireland simply not good enough in the end. Poor bench showing and second half overall. We had the win in our grasp despite everything.

The really annoying thing about this game is they were there for the taking, despite all the bs. Ireland simply not good enough to take the opportunity.

Giving us nothing.

Big ups to Big Stu by the way. He was brilliant both sides of the ball in that first half #IREvNZL

Not even gonna check that? Fucking lol

Thats way more dangerous than the Byrne one. Neither should be a red but both should be yellow

01.11.2025 21:02 — 👍 1    🔁 1    💬 0    📌 0

Yep. Ridiculous

Just a penalty? And the earlier incident with Beirne was a (20-minute) red?

Very well.

Clearly another red card incident from New Zealand

Another no-call from this officiating team

TADGH FUCKING FURLONG!!!!!!!

Not even a yellow for NZ 2 for a clearly deliberate professional foul. “All we want is consistency ref”

Read the English translation and it becomes hilarious. I’m going to live translate it next time I’m at a NZ game.

The 20 minute red card isn’t the right answer. Getting the fucking decision right is the right answer. Ridiculous decision to give a red for a borderline penalty only to yellow incident

Ridiculous call from the bunker review. They didn’t look at it properly on the pitch, which is fair enough, but no excuses for the muppets in the video truck.

That's a fucking joke.

Thats crazy. How that is red is nuts.
