Paul O’Connell admits Ireland’s set-piece woes against the All Blacks on Saturday will have to be fixed this week if the tourists want to take this Test series to the wire.

Levelling the series in Dunedin next Saturday will mean Ireland making history and beating the All Blacks for the first time on New Zealand soil but a repeat of their first Test performance in a 42-19 defeat at Eden Park will spell the end of those ambitions.
