Special day at the Aviva, Remorseless Rassie & farewell to Ciara Griffin
00:00
Murray Kinsella, Bernard Jackman and Gavan Casey reflect on Ireland's third ever victory over the All Blacks -- arguably the most enjoyable edition of the three -- and what we can gleam from the performance with an eye on the near future. The impacts of Paul O'Connell and Gary Keegan are discussed, as are some of the lads' favourite individual performances and the areas in which Ireland will need to improve for the Six Nations. Naturally, they also look ahead to Argentina this Sunday, which may be an especially important game for Conor Murray.Elsewhere, the lads give their thoughts on Rassie Erasmus' suspension and the consequent fallout, and they pay tribute to departing Ireland captain Ciara Griffin as they look ahead to Saturday's Test with Japan.
