Blacks force Boys in Green to settle for silver

Ireland 19 New Zealand 47

They proved too good for Ireland but the scoreline did not do justice to the young men in green. Seconds from the end, Irish centre John Hearty charged over the line for what many considered a try but referee Hugh Watkins, didn't think it even warranted calling for the video referee.

Mr Watkins wasn't any help to Ireland all through and capped it with a bizarre ruling that Hearty should spend ten minutes in the sin-bin.
