Rugby: Irish players fuming over Barrett try


Irish players are angry over the try awarded to Beauden Barrett with the key touchdown quickly becoming a focal point after New Zealand's 21-9 triumph in Dublin this morning. Barrett, World Rugby's Player of the Year, scored a scintillating second try for New Zealand but controversy was raging after the match over whether he had grounded the ball. Rival first five Jonny Sexton was adamant that he had prevented the try from being scored. Irish player Jordi Murphy, one of the stars of Ireland's upset win in Chicago two weeks ago but injured for the return clash, immediately responded to the decision on Twitter by writing 'disgraceful'.
