It felt like Ireland came out as the winners, the more physical and accurate and certainly the more disciplined over the 160 minutes. In the basic elements of winning the ball and keeping the ball, they were better than the All Blacks in both tests. They used their composure and neat, sharp attacking ploys to build the pressure on the All Blacks in both tests. Defence, as every coach always says, is all about attitude and no one could possibly doubt the All Blacks had that. These are qualities to treasure because without them, the All Blacks would have a future with significantly less hope.
