Andy Farrell says he had “dubious” thoughts about some of the decisions in Ireland’s narrow loss to the Springboks in Pretoria on Saturday night.
Ireland lost Craig Casey to a concussion after the scrumhalf was cleaned out by Munster teammate and Bok lock RG Snyman, which was not looked at by the TMO for foul play. “We will go through the right channels and make sure we do things properly as far as those things are concerned. You’ll make of it what you want.“It was a special play by Kolbe to chase that ball and it’s one of the reasons why they won the World Cup with him chasing down the kicker in France, but we were slack not backing James up.
Overall, Farrell said the Springboks deserved to win, but was proud of Ireland’s ability to fight back from a fizzling start that saw them fall 13-3 behind in the first half.
