Kidney takes positives from Wolfhounds' defeat

Ireland head coach Declan Kidney said that he was encouraged by what he saw from the Ireland Wolfhounds’ performance against the England Saxons on Saturday despite the 23-17 scoreline in favour of the Saxons.

Tries from Dave Kearney, Tomás O’Leary and a late touchdown from Simon Zebo weren’t enough for the Wolfhounds, with the boot of Freddie Burns inspiring the Saxons to victory.
