Jamie Heaslip has conceded that Ireland could not deal with the devastating pace of New Zealand’s play after their 42-10 defeat in the first Test at Eden Park.

CLIVE Woodward believes he has the men to cope with the pressure of delivering a British and Irish Lions Test victory over New Zealand at Jade Stadium tomorrow (8.10am).

NEW ZEALAND's record try-scorer has warned his compatriots the British and Irish Lions have yet to realise their potential, but it's doubtful if his countrymen heard him - after all, his comments were made in Cork.
