Ireland suffer at the hands of a vengeful New Zealand

The Counter Ruck

Ireland’s green wave came crashing back down to earth after a 40-0 defeat to New Zealand in Brighton. The saving grace is that, after defeating Japan and Spain in their opening games, a quarter-final spot has still been secured. They play Six Nations foe France in Exeter next weekend.


After attending the match on Sunday, Nathan Johns and Gerry Thornley pick through the talking points.


Where did it go wrong for Ireland? Did they play into New Zealand’s hands with their game plan? Will Aoife Wafer play any time at this tournament? What are their prospects for the French showdown?
