Farrell 'gutted' after NZ end run of rusty Irish
The Straits Times
|November 10, 2024
Andy Farrell said there were "no excuses" and the best team won, after New Zealand beat Six Nations champions Ireland 23-13 on Nov 8 to end their 19-match winning streak at Lansdowne Road.
-
The Irish looked rusty in a match that never threatened to reach the heights of their epic 2023 Rugby World Cup quarter-final clash which the All Blacks won 28-24.
New Zealand had Ireland's measure on a night when the drizzle dampened fans' spirits even before the match.
Damian McKenzie's 18 points and Will Jordan's try sent the Irish fans away even glummer - they had not experienced the home losing feeling since France beat them in the Six Nations in 2021.
Compounding a miserable night for Ireland, it was their worst home defeat since England beat them 32-20 in 2019.
