Ireland clearly decided to let the pageant play out before making a late show of passive resistance, but at the end of the crooked line of Irish players Peter O’Mahony went early, and took another couple of steps when he realised he was offside. Always a blindside. All week there was talk of a needle between the teams and it didn’t take long to come to the surface. Joe McCarthy got stuck in and there was a flare-up. Maybe nobody was hit but the shaping was vicious. With immaculate comic timing, Paul Mescal’s face in the crowd was flashed up on the big screen, looking remarkably intact after his turn on Gladiator II.
At one stage in the first half Jack Crowley eschewed a shot at goal or a kick to touch from a penalty inside the New Zealand half in favour of a Garryowen. Ireland failed to recover the ball.
