New Zealand forward Jared Waerea-Hargreaves was sinbinned for a high shot on Ireland’s Dan Norman, something which Ireland boss Ged Corcoran was unhappy about after the game, labelling it a ‘dog shot’.
“I’ve got to be careful with what I say but really disappointed with that dog shot (from) Hargreaves,” Corcoran said.
“For me that’s a game changer… it’s just a hard one to swallow.
“100 per cent (should have been sent off). It was a clear shoulder to the head, it’s ended his night, it’s ended his debut.”
