Ireland v All Blacks

NEW ZEALAND vs IRELAND

THE STORYLINE

New Zealand’s considerable rugby ego was badly bruised last year as the All Blacks crashed to back-to-back losses against Ireland and France.

The Irish played superb rugby at Lansdowne Road, with supreme ball handling and continuity not usually seen from their forwards in a 29-20 upset win.

All Blacks coach Ian Foster is under immense pressure and has named NRL convert Roger Tuivasa-Sheck in his squad.

But the bigger question is whether the All Blacks are capable of still fielding a forward pack to frighten top opposition and lay a sufficient platform for their dangerous backs.

“There are huge question marks,” former All Blacks enforcer Richard Loe said.

“Look at, for example, the front row – some of the props shouldn’t be there. They’ve got a World Cup coming up very soon, but most of the players who got beaten so badly by Ireland and France last year are re-selected and they’re well into their 30s.”

THE SCHEDULE

July 2: Ireland v All Blacks First Test, 5.05pm AEST kickoff at Auckland’s Eden Park

July 9: Ireland v All Blacks Second Test, 5.05pm AEST kickoff at Dunedin’s Forsyth Barr Stadium

July 16: Ireland v All Blacks Third Test, 5.05pm AEST kickoff at Wellington’s Sky Stadium

AUSTRALIA vs ENGLAND

THE STORYLINE

England’s canny Australian coach Eddie Jones is again in the thick of things as he warned his side could expect “abusive crowds” Down Under.

Jones is under pressure after finishing fifth in the Six Nations but his coaching credentials are unquestionable.

As is his mastery of media mind games, so much so that combative Wallabies halfback Nic White – not usually short of a word – was steering clear of a tit for tat.

“If there’s one guy I definitely won’t be getting into a battle with it’s Eddie Jones,” White said.

“You know they ask you that question, who would you love to have dinner with? He pops to mind straight away – to pick his brains, he’s obviously a mastermind.

“We love our sport. You know, the Aussie vs England rivalry in all sports, let alone rugby, is huge. We do love to get up for that series. And we will be up for this series and hopefully be dragging all of Australia along with us. Hopefully we get a chance to to get vocal and, he’s right, we are very vocal over here.”
