A JUDGEMENT on just how good this New Zealand side is will have to wait until the forthcoming Tri Nations series.

WITH just three days to go to the Heineken Cup final, the failure of either Munster or Leinster to emerge from their respective semi-finals takes greatly from the event. I sincerely hope, both for the sake of the competition and for the ability of Ireland to host a major European sporting event that the Dublin public turns up in large numbers.
