FARRELL: 'I HAVEN'T SEEN GAME LIKE IT’
South Wales Evening Post
|November 24, 2025
RELAND head coach Andy Farrell admitted he had not “seen a game like that ever” as he took exception to a chaotic 24-13 defeat to South Africa being described as “shambolic’.

‘The hosts lost lock James Ryan to a 20-minute red card during a remarkable first half in which teammates Sam Prendergast, Jack Crowley and Andrew Porter were sin-binned.
Ireland’s repeated infringements followed the perceived injustice of Springboks fly-half Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu avoiding an early card for a high hit on Tommy O'Brien.
With Farrell's side down to 13 men, hooker Dan Sheehan crossed in response to scores from Damian Willemse and Cobus Reinach, before a penalty try moved the world champions 19-7 ahead at the break.
