The BBC caught up with young Ryan and his mother, Christine Totten.
'All his friends were able to play on and Ryan was removed from the middle of the game,' she told them.
'When he got home, he said he got kicked out of rugby - these are his words - "because of the way he was made".'
Ryan made a plea to the IRFU to follow Scotland's lead and allow him to play wearing the goggles:
'They said that I can't play because I wear sports goggles. Please can I play again? I really, really, really want to.'Sounds like a convincing argument to us. For the IRFU's part, a spokesperson said they 'must prioritise player safety at all times' but added that it would look at the issue again after an ongoing World Rugby trial on eyewear.
