Appreciated, all started from a kiwi legendary coach in joey to turn Irish rugby into genuine top level world beaters. The man at the helm taught fast hands fast pace open rugby, beautiful rugby. So we might’ve beaten the mighty all blacks, but it took one of your own to do it! Proud as an Irishman but will forever cheer on the ABs for being the standard of quality, etiquette and blueprint of beautiful rugby that every nation strides to replicate!
