About this episode
Neil Treacy is joined by Bernard Jackman and Johne Murphy to pick through the bones of Ireland's 26-13 defeat to New Zealand in Chicago. We react to the news that Tadhg Beirne's red card from the game has been rescinded, and discuss how the TMO confusion added to a poor spectacle at Soldier Field. The panel also looks at how Ireland's attacking game struggled to make a dent in the New Zealand defence (18:45), and the errors that saw them wilt in the final quarter. We discuss the changes Andy Farrell is likely to make this week against, and ask whether or not those performances are likely to be rewarded later in the Quilter Nations Series window (33:45). Bernard also looks at the continuing issues around Ireland's lineout (47:30), which lost five of its 16 throws on Saturday. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
