Ireland have endured a challenging start to their quarter-final against the All Blacks, with the former three-time world champions taking an early and commanding lead
Ireland thought they were about to benefit from a man advantage when prime-time centre Bundee Aki was on the receiving end of what appeared to be a shoulder-to-head collision.
Referee Wayne Barnes waved away Johnny Sexton’s protests and proceeded to dish out no further punishment. Check the video here:
