All Blacks run riot on day to forget for Irish rugby
Everywhere you turned last week you discovered Kiwis sympathising. This would not be their default mode.
We lost count of the number who said that not only should Ireland have won in Christchurch, but the locals wouldn't have minded whatsoever, seeing as these were world champions plus they that can compare with the Irish. Implicit within their remarks however was the acknowledgement that the storm was coming, and that it might break within the tourists at 7.30pm on Saturday, June 23.
One of the most interesting characters we came across was former New Zealand prop Carl Hoeft. He'd just come from an exciting Black scrummaging session. He said that they are "hurting". In the hurry-up Ireland had given them at this phase in Christchurch,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he explained,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], not in the effort involved in improving it.
So, to avoid this payback from the All Blacks,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Declan Kidney's side would need to make a move they hadn't done in quite a long time. We estimate that you have to go back to February/March 2010, once they beat England in Twickenham after which Wales in Croke Park, to find the last time Ireland played well in succession against tier-one opposition. Even the World Cup run last autumn featured a minnow, in the shape of Russia,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], before it all went south against Wales.
Obviously there are other issues at play on this tour -- the fatigue of a group who have been on the go for a year,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], plus the absence of six Lions in the mix yesterday -- however the failure to produce consistently good rugby has dogged Kidney every step of the way because the Grand Slam in 2009.
"You've got to have your values as well as your standards and keep hitting them, and then when you hit them, things happen," Ronan O'Gara said last week. He wasn't produced post-match yesterday but you would ever guess how he might have summed it up. Together with Brian O'Driscoll, he has known only failure within this fixture. And it's questionable if the trip taught him anything he didn't already know about winning Tests.
Equally, Kidney is satisfied to simply accept that consistency is one thing his team still hasn't nailed down, but he's not too clear on why it's happening.
"Without doubt, I'd accept that,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," he admits that. "We've been inconsistent when it comes to turning up week in, week out. But that is an approach. We never prepare exactly the same week in, week out because you can't do this if there is a six-day turnaround or perhaps an eight-day turnaround however the overall mental, physical and skill approach is the same week in, week out, and that we adapt the program. It is simply having the ability to venture out there then and also do it,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and that's what we will have to take a glance at."
His contract expires at the conclusion of next year's Six Nations,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. Does he think the pressure can come on him now after the worst defeat in Irish rugby history?
"You'd have to question them (the IRFU) that,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. That's the response to that certain. I did not lose the run of myself when we won and i am not going to lose the run of myself when I do that. I know how to repair it. That's for other people to answer -- you'd need to ask others."
Evidence indicate he doesn't know how to repair it however, for that inconsistency bug has been untreated for such a long time. Writ in large letters in the Ireland camp all week was the requirement to start well, to stay in touch,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], to get to the finish of the first quarter on the same playing field because the Kiwis. And then these were obliterated. The improved kicking game of the other day,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and the chase that supported it, was gone. You wonder did players fear that which was coming down the track. Rob Kearney maintains they went expecting good stuff to happen.
"I genuinely did," he admits that. "After a week ago, I felt there was a real belief within the squad. We got in a situation where we knew a) that we could beat them and b) how to beat them. They're the two most essential things you have to realise against any side. Tonight I suppose that got trashed your window a little.
"The first 15 minutes -- that is what killed us off. You're what, 20-24 points down? Game over. There and then, it's as easy as that. We started really slowly, we gave them cheap ball, like we did in the first Test. We turned ball over easily,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], we didn't take care of the ball in contact, and we allowed them to run hard and throw offloads and those are the two things you cannot do from this team. We did both tonight.
"Physically, we are all a little bit drained. Measuring only normal at the conclusion of a 52-week season. There comes times in games and seasons -- I recall feeling next Pro12 final against the Ospreys -- you take a bit of a drubbing also it can kick in really fast and it's a sudden fatigue factor and I think that probably showed a little tonight. But I am not going to use that as an excuse. Obviously it will likely be a contributing factor, but that's the growing season that's been presented to us."
Kearney -- yellow card aside -- was among the go-to players within the three Tests, as was Se n O'Brien, who had been reasonable man in Hamilton. Rory Best, Donnacha Ryan and Mike Ross all reinforced their credentials as quality international players, as did Jamie Heaslip whose shoes Peter O'Mahony struggled to fill.
You wondered why Kidney didn't play O'Brien at eight yesterday, with Chris Henry at openside. Or indeed why he reached for Paddy Wallace rather than putting Keith Earls in the middle and Andrew Trimble on the wing. And why did he choose to put Donncha O'Callaghan on the bench, leaving Mike McCarthy having a role being an observer,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], combined with the other unused players -- Paul Marshall, Brett Wilkinson and Mike Sherry.
The coach also ignored an opportunity to give Se n Cronin a good run. He's firmly cast like a last-lap merchant and it does him no good. One of these days he will be called on to begin a game -- remember, the series was lost when we reached yesterday's stage -- and he'll be blinded by the light.
Following the Barbarians game on the way to here,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Kidney said it was a pity there wasn't a fourth Test. Several jaws dropped when he announced that certain. The same is true he think Ireland could bounce back if asked next weekend, to reproduce the things they did in Christchurch?
"Yes we're able to," he admits that. "If you get the very first 25 minutes right. You let sides like New Zealand have that number of points in front and they're going to do this to you every single time. The secret isn't to allow them do it."
It's a trick neither coach nor players are near to pulling off. The longest season ever is finished having a record defeat,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], so when they are available to this level, in November, it'll cast a long shadow.相关的主题文章：
