Kidney gets serious as Wolfhounds get opportunity to shine against Fiji

Ireland will not be handing out caps for the Irish Wolfhounds-Fiji game at Thomond Park on November 17 but coach Declan Kidney stressed last night that he will be placing a considerable degree of significance on the fixture.

Kidney stated that the Irish side will be a combination of some established players and others with their sights set on greater things will line out against the South Sea Islanders.

The shock and disappointment of the 60-0 hammering by New Zealand in their most recent outing has worn off, leaving Kidney in a typically philosophical frame of mind.
