Barnes has already refereed Ireland in the 2023 Rugby World Cup.
Wayne Barnes has been confirmed as referee for Ireland's World Cup quarter-final against New Zealand. With Ireland topping their group a date with the All Blacks looms large with Barnes the man to oversee the clash.
Ireland will come across a familiar face in Joe Schmidt with the former head coach in the New Zealand backroom team.“I don’t think Joe would know anything about this squad, we are a completely different squad," insisted Earls. And the Munster man also has not bought into the idea that New Zealand have had a massive dip in form.
