Congratulations to the Irish team on their well-deserved win last night, but the All Blacks’ performance in the entire series was clearly not acceptable, compared to what they reflected. We all know there is an enormous amount of work to be done. Our focus now is on working with Ian (Foster) and his team to fully understand, ahead of the Rugby Championship, what is needed to improve performance and how to move forward. We will start this work right away.”
