The decision not to show further angles of Richie Mo’unga’s shoulder to Bundee Aki’s jaw was baffling
This one and done replay in the stadium is very unsatisfactory and it does nothing to protect the integrity of the officials and offer support to endorse their decisions. If Foley had a replay that proves conclusively that Mo’unga made legitimate contact with Aki, then why not show it?
Ireland probably had more legitimate claims to quibble with the officiating at the breakdown where Barnes allowed the All Blacks a large degree of latitude when it came to what way they exited the breakdown, generally on the Irish side, a perfect way to slow down ball. It’s just a pity that the supporters weren’t afforded the same pristine image. Ireland, too, got some breaks in terms of the refereeing, with New Zealand twice reduced to 14-players, scrumhalf Aaron Smith’s one-handed, fingertip deflection of an inside pass costing him 10 minutes and then Codie Taylor received his enforced sabbatical for bringing down an Irish lineout maul.
