" Show me a good loser and I'll show you a loser " – Vince Lombardi

Lets not confuse gracious with glad after yesterdays game the Irish players shook the hands of their opponents and congratulated following  an intense battle that went down to the last kick, but bringing New Zealand to the brink of defeat is not enough for this bunch of Ireland players many of whom expressed anger at the defeat in their post match interviews.

Former Toulouse, Leinster , London Irish and Ireland forward Aidan McCullen was on commentary for Setanta Sports and spoke to us about where the game was won in the dying moments.

McCullen who’s a former teammate of Brian O'Driscoll and Gordon D'Arcy both starts by  focusing on the midfield pairing and how much Ireland are going to miss them when they are gone.
