Wallace relishing Kiwi challenge

AS one of the surviving Lions contingent in the Ireland squad that arrived here in Auckland yesterday, David Wallace should be on his last legs.

Since pre-season training prior to the start of the 2008/09 campaign, he has had precious little in terms of extended breaks from the game.

But looking surprisingly fresh for a man just off a 29-hours flight, the Munster flanker yesterday said he’s perfectly primed for a tilt at the All Blacks in New Plymouth on Saturday.
