On a day when everything went wrong...

EVEN the shirts were a problem for Ireland at the Aviva Stadium.

Declan Kidney’s team took to the field in special commemorative green jerseys to mark the return of international rugby to theLansdowne Road venue but the shirts supplied by Puma were not up to the job.

Just 10 minutes into the game against world champions South Africa, Ireland number eight Jamie Heaslip’s jersey appeared to develop holes and shortly after the front row of Cian Healy, Rory Best and Tony Buckley all shed their jerseys and reverted to the regular matchday kit.
