No new call-ups to the Ireland squad this week, despite Stuart McCloskey (groin) and Tadhg Beirne (red card) being doubts

One of the hardest parts of last night is that it’s hard to pin Ireland’s loss on any 1 facet
- Scrum + lineout struggled
- Lost the 22 efficiency battle
- Attack found out
- Defensively porous at costly times
Similarly to vs Leinster, if you stop giving Ireland penalty access; you will win

Ireland picked the wrong day to play the ABs so
31 October is quite the day in All Black history.
In 1972, they lost at Stradey to the only Welsh team to beat them since the invention of colour television.
Then lost again, 6 years to the day later, to Munster.
21 years on, they got ambushed at the RWC SF by France in the greatest of games. 1/
