Transcript

00:00I think first of all immense credit to Ireland and such an experienced team

00:07and it was a tough test match and in that third quarter I thought they did

00:11they did real well. Two kick exchanges that they won which got them field

00:16position and opportunity and a couple of penalties that we conceded that gave

00:21them field position and opportunity and that was probably the critical

00:25period and that allowed them to get scoreboard pressure and then I'd say

00:31huge congratulations to Ireland and respect for them for their performance

00:35and also I'm very proud of the way the players one attacked the game in the

00:39first half and two in the final quarter the way they came back and ultimately

00:43scored a couple of tries to get us the bonus point here.
