“Kept New Zealand in the game” – Ireland fans rage at Jaco Peyper over three contentious moments

#3. STRANGE APOLOGY

Fans were confused why he apologised for sending off the New Zealand player for what was obviously a dangerous tackle.

Angus Taavao remained upright and clattered into Garry Ringrose’s head. Clear red card with the Ireland centre being replaced by Bundee Aki.
