Conor and Gavin reflect on Ireland's defeat to New Zealand in Chicago on the latest Ireland Rugby Social. Former international scrum-half Murray breaks down the key moments from the match, including the controversial red card shown to Tadhg Beirne and its impact on the game.

Some praised the win as a spirited comeback, while others emphasised the Irish side's collapse in the second-half.

Ireland threatened a repeat of their 2016 heroics at Soldier Field as they opened up a 10-0 lead, courtesy of a Jack Crowley penalty and a Tadhg Furlong try, despite being down a man due to Tadhg Beirne’s red card – more on that shortly.
