There will be no time to smell the roses for Ireland’s tourists in Wellington this week.

A first Test win against the All Blacks in New Zealand made history for Andy Farrell’s team in Dunedin over the weekend but the squad has since moved on to the nation’s capital for the final week in-country and a second game against the Maori All Blacks on Tuesday (8:05am Irish time) to negotiate before a series-deciding third Test this Saturday.
