Francis Saili can’t see Ireland beating All Blacks ‘any time soon’

“I cannot see the day coming any time soon”.

That was the response of Munster’s All Black centre Francis Saili when asked if he thought Ireland would ever defeat New Zealand.

“There’s an opportunity for Ireland to beat New Zealand in Chicago and Dublin in November. I can’t see the day coming any time soon. I can’t see it in my head. You have to be truthful, although 2013 was a very close one. You almost took us then, so there is hope. Back home in New Zealand, the skill level is a lot better than it is here.
