Because it's all about the occasion and the spectacle, rather than, ya know, player safety and the contest.

I could live without the mic, but the lack of video replays is unacceptable. Rugby isn't exactly unheard of in America (thanks to the likes of Ilona Maher), but you'd think that someone would have told the camera operators what the done thing is.

Glad to hear that you still had fun though.

Was your experience that bad? I've seen plenty of articles and comments which give the impression of a mess that should have been mich better. Hopefully the management of both teams take a reasoned approach and provide some fair points to improve on.

So we can be the guinea pigs while the hosts of the 2031 Rugby World Cup figure out how to actually run a game? Nah, someone else can fill in for us.

He got a fairly hard wallop when he did this in Twickenham a few years ago (2022, I believe?). I'm surprised that it didn't knock some sense into him.

The lineout went to bits after he was sent off. Ryan is crucial to it, but he can't be expected to do almost all of the work.

You might actually be on to something there.

I was never even convinced while he was at Leinster.

The biggest discussion point, in Ireland anyway, will be the red card.

Disappointed to lose that one, but I'll be content if we're still in the top 4 by the end of November. #IREvNZL

Was that bad? I didn't see the whole game and the only part of it that I can recall was the huge scoreline at the end.

Flashed of brilliance from both teams with an unhealthy dose of a stop-start type of game. It's eventful, but the organisation around the match is ridiculous. Iffy pitch, TMO issues, bad sound quality and a mix-up with a HIA call. Both teams deserve better than that. #IREvNZL

Just a penalty? And the earlier incident with Beirne was a (20-minute) red?

Very well.

This is all very amateur stuff between the pitch condition, in stadium replays, whistle seemingly not loud enough for the players... #IREvNZL

Ok, just a bold sin-bin. But that's still incredibly harsh.
