Kidney stresses the positives

THE perfectionists that are Declan Kidney and his coaching team mean many hours will be spent analysing videos of Ireland’s four games of the Guinness Series before the squad meets again to prepare for the 2011 Six Nations Championship.

And delighted though he may have been with yesterday’s comfortable victory over Argentina at the Aviva Stadium, he didn’t hide the fact that Ireland must improve in many areas.

The line outs, he conceded, needed more work although he did excuse his charges for losing a couple of throws during the match, explaining that he didn’t want to stop them from trying to be proactive.
