This is what Ireland's head coach had to say about tour;

"Pleased? I don't think that's the word. What's the biggest thing that you can say about a group of people? I don't think there is a word. They've grabbed hold of it hugely.

We never got ahead of ourselves when we were in front and we never panicked when they started to come back."
