Stick with the intensity of the game and you do have a chance pulling of something special you cant worry about last week thats gone

The big young fella last weekend was also taught manners on after that hit on Kearney is well. Ireland problem was that Fergus McFadden last Saturday taught he was a center and neglected his duty as a wing. You have to keep on your man and trust your centers to get across to make there tackles. Brian O'Driscoll was also the main cause of two of the tries against us trying off loads when they weren't on. They have to be smart with how they pass this Saturday and they have to pass to somebody ruining onto the ball at pace its no good passing to somebody standing still. Also ball retention is crucial every ruck must be secured. We can't play helter skelter rugby like NZ, but we can wear them down by altering the tempo to suit us, slow it down, speed it up then slow it down again we can't get sucked into playing there game or we will lose bad. McFadden did well getting that try back but it does not erase the mistakes he made and I am surprised because he is usually a very solid defender perhaps Lez Kiss gave him a good shouting at to fix his defense for this test .

Savea's a pretty big space to run through, next time throw the ball away

After Savea nailed Kearney last week he offered nothing in attack and even less in defence... so he certainly has something to prove this weekend.

What do you want him to say? We're going to lie down and let them trample all over us? Kearney's right: Ireland have to use these games to experiment with a more aggressive, attacking game. It will stand them in good stead next time round against weaker opponents.

Rob don't forget the Big Young-Fella on the wing who put Manners On Ya last weekend.
