George Moala receives treatment for his injury during the match against Ireland in Chicago. The prognosis wasn't so good for George Moala, who has headed home after tearing ligaments in his elbow and he will be replaced by Seta Tamanivalu. "Everyone is a bit sore, but probably the biggest part that is sore is their pride," All Blacks coach Steve Hansen said before the team left for Italy. "When you look through the ages I can think of Christchurch (2012) when they probably should have won; Dublin (2013) when they probably should have won. Probably, though, the biggest work-on is in the attitude and mind-set of the forwards who allowed themselves to be dominated.
