[QUOTE="snoopy snoopy dog dog, post: 509925, member: 13611"] It's not all that surprising though. Even if Ireland had a full strength side, they'd be up against it. New Zealand would still be the better team by 15ish points. Without Ross, O'Connell, Ferris, Bowe and Fitzgerald, all of whom would have started, and Reddan who should have started, Ireland had very little chance of keeping the scoreline respectable. Factor in an out of touch coaching team and it makes matters worse. For the rest of the tour, if a couple of new players can push their names forward for selection in full strength teams, that's the best Ireland can hope for. [/QUOTE]
