But in the last eight matches, the three-time tournament winners barely defeated Ireland.Although the nature of the defeat was different from earlier World Cup losses at this point, it had been an extremely sad conclusion to a season that had so much potential.
Though O’Mahony, 34, was just elected captain of Ireland, it seems the seasoned player will only hold the position temporarily.The action he played in France last fall was most likely his final World Cup match, and Kiwi player Retallick shared the details of what transpired on the field at the Stade de France.
Retallick reportedly said, “Oi Peter, four more years you wit,” after exacting revenge on Ireland for winning the 2022 Test series, and the player attested to the veracity of the reports. “I said what was reported,” he stated on the What a Lady podcast.
He was right into us on the field, spraying us left, right, and center when they defeated us in Wellington during that series.
“I enjoy it; you let them know when you’re having a good day, but when we’re having a good day together, there’s no better moment than that one, I promise.”
