Tensions soar as All Blacks prepare to tear into Ireland in Dublin1 NEWS All Blacks flanker Jerome Kaino says there is a "nervous edge" to the team ahead of the Dublin test against Ireland. If you want a gauge on the tension levels within the All Blacks, reflect on how tetchy they must have been before the Rugby World Cup sudden-death games. "I would say there is a little nervous edge in the team given what happened in Chicago," Kaino said. ANDREW CORNAGA/PHOTOSPORT Jerome Kaino played his 76th test against Ireland in Chicago, a match the All Blacks lost 40-29. Kaino wanted to honour Romano by having a blinder in his No 4 jersey, but fell short of those expectations.
