About this episode
Ireland's latest quarter-final heartbreak is up for discussion on the latest episode of The Left Wing as Luke Fitzgerald, Will Slattery, Rúaidhrí O'Connor and Jonathan Bradley pick through Saturday's defeat to New Zealand. Why did Andy Farrell's men come up short in another last-eight tie? The lineout, missed chances and a huge effort from the All Blacks all contributed to a dramatic defeat in Paris. The lads dive into some of the key moments from Saturday's game as well as look into the future as Andy Farrell faces a rebuilding job with a number of star players unlikely to be involved at the next World Cup. The Left Wing will be back again on Thursday to preview the weekend semi-finals so don’t forget to join us then.
