RTÉ Rugby Podcast · How do Ireland close the gap after a season of ups and downs? · 21 Jul 2026 podcast
I think the window has passed for that, which is just as surprising as no red card. matched
It's interesting, Andy Farrell was obviously asked about it after the game, as you would expect, but matched
in light of Gonzalo Quesada picking up a two-match ban in the few days previous. matched
World Rugby are obviously clamping down enormously on coaches and players critiquing referees after games. matched
It was a pretty short answer. matched
There's incidents all over the field tonight that you could talk about, and we're not able to do that, so I'll pass on that one, which is, it's a non-answer, but I think it answers every question as well. matched
And to your point about... matched
that decision was not the winning and losing of the game. matched
Like if that had been a red card for Luke Jacobson, ultimately he's only off the, well, he's off the pitch for the rest of the game, but New Zealand are only down to 14 players for another 10 minutes. matched
Well, that's the other thing I'd say. matched
But the point I would bring into it then is it obviously, it didn't cost Ireland the result, but there are decisions there and there are moments where all of a sudden now we're thinking of the Nations Championship in terms of a tournament format where there's bonus points on offer. matched
These aren't one-off tests anymore. matched
Now, Ireland probably weren't going to win that game regardless of what decisions were made. matched
But if you fast forward it into the second half and the Quinn Tupai deliberate knock-on that was just a penalty and wasn't a yellow card, matched
Ireland scored off that penalty to get back within was it get back within 14 points there was a third try they'd scored off the back of that off the back of that penalty they could have been playing with a man advantage for another 10 minutes one more try for Ireland in that period and you're looking at two bonus points if they'd been you know they would have got their fourth try and they could have got back within within seven points two bonus points for Ireland at the weekend and matched
would have put them from fourth position in that nation's championship table up to second. matched
So I know it didn't hinge the actual winning and losing of the game. matched
But if we get down to the end of November and Ireland, you know, miss out on first place or second place or, you know, their position in a nation's championship table is determined by bonus points, which probably will be at some stage. matched
I can see why there will be a lot of frustration and regret about, well, not regret, but frustration around some of these decisions at last weekend. matched
Oh, do you think so? matched
