Ireland received feedback to their queries about two television match official (TMO) calls that went against them in the first Test against the Springboks, and it doesn’t appear they fully agreed with World Rugby on the matter.

Defence coach Simon Easterby, when asked if they had received “satisfactory feedback” on two second half incidents at Loftus Versfeld, his reply was telling. “We got feedback, yeah.”
