RTÉ Rugby Podcast · How do Ireland close the gap after a season of ups and downs? · 21 Jul 2026 podcast

I wasn't impressed with this one, but the rest of his game I thought was really impressive.

This was a red card.

It does answer it because I can understand that frustration.

You're not allowed to say anything and rugby is supposed to have this discipline where you just accept decisions.

It's very, very hard to just accept decisions.

Again, I want to be very, very clear.

Ireland...

weren't winning that game in the way that it was played you can't rely on someone needing to be red carded to try and win the game and you could still argue that they might not win the game if it's a red card so I'm definitely not coming onto the podcast saying if that was a red card Ireland win the game or Ireland were screwed over by Nick Berry absolutely not happening but at the same time you know when will we get to a stage where this is going to be more understandable for the people who prop the game up in terms of supporters the coaches that are putting their

time and effort and their career into trying to win games like this like it's very frustrating for people on the outside because you know i don't understand the contact process in rugby anymore and i'm trying to be involved in the game as well like don't tell me you understand that if this is the the non-red card i think we're all very confused by rugby and its laws at the moment so it's gotten to a place where we can't really control what you we're guessing the outcome now aren't we we don't know what it's going to go and i actually feel like it's gone to a stage where

Or can we find mitigation at any cost at all?

Why are we doing that?

For the spectacle of not having 15 versus 14.

Stop trying to find mitigations around your own laws that you've put in place and just ref the laws that are there.

I don't really understand that.

We're afraid to let a red car be a red car.

It's unlikely.

If he just sent it to a red card, it's still a red card, isn't it?

But if you look objectively at what Andy Farrell can and can't control within that moment, New Zealand should have scored there.

And the game was well beyond Ireland's reach.

I actually wonder, do we really care about the Nations Championship as much as... I think what the Nations Championship will give you is a final weekend of a better quality game.
