Arriving in New Zealand
The Irish team have arrived and will await the arrival of Brian O’Driscoll (travelling late after the death of a close friend), Geordan Murphy and Eion Reddan (travelling late due the English Premiership Final) - Bradley has said their late arrival will not affect his match plans:
“They will be at Tuesday’s training session or Thursday’s,” he said. “Brian was with us right up until the Baa-Baas (Barbarians) match and Geordan and Eion were involved in the Six Nations (when) the systems were in place.
“They’re smart rugby players and they’ll do their homework for our match on Saturday, so it’s not really an issue for us.”
