McFarland: Uruguay will be far tougher test

Emerging Ireland head coach Dan McFarland expects much more resistance from Uruguay than the feeble Russian effort, but won’t be sidetracked for the second of three IRB Nations Cup games at the Stadeionul National Arcul de Triumf today (2 pm Irish time).

McFarland has consigned the Russian game to history and is now fully focused on the Uruguay challenge:

“First and foremost, after the Russia game we made it absolutely clear as a team together, everybody, that we were going to focus on what we did, should do and what we needed to get right.
