All Blacks have high praise for Ireland

THE All Blacks have praised Ireland for knocking the arrogance out of the Tri Nations sides following their victory over Australia on Saturday.

Ireland’s victory has opened the way for a southern versus northern hemisphere final and key players from the All Blacks have been quick to thank the men in green for helping to focus their minds.

“It just shows a little bit of arrogance we sometimes have in the southern hemisphere. We think we’re the best teams in the world and Ireland showed last night that’s not the case,” said All Blacks wing Richard Kahui.
