New Zealand captain Scott Barrett says he “took exception” to Ireland lock Joe McCarthy<\/b> in the All Blacks’ 23-13 win in Dublin.<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

Barrett squared up to McCarthy early in the match after he felt the Irish player had “cleaned up” fly-half Damian McKenzie while he was on the ground after a ruck.<\/p>\n

McKenzie kicked 18 points as the All Blacks ended Ireland’s 19-game unbeaten run in Dublin.<\/p>\n

“I don’t usually take exception but I saw something that I guess was below the line for me,” Barrett said when asked to explain the incident.<\/p>\n

“I had to make a point of not to be targeting our 10 like that.”<\/p>\n

Barrett said he felt “he had to defend McKenzie”, who he believed was targeted by the Irish players. <\/p>\n

Play was paused as players ran to McCarthy and Barrett before the game was resumed by referee Nic Berry without any sanctions.<\/p>\n

“From where I saw it, it looked like it was around his head. Whether it was or not, I’m not too sure.<\/p>\n

“It just looked like a ruck, he was on the ground. From where I saw it it looked like a bit of a shoulder to a man on the ground, who was our ten.<\/p>\n

“I guess I took exception to that in the moment. It may not have been.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
