Balanced Perspective is Crucial

Declan Kidney believes that a balanced perspective has to be kept no matter what Ireland’s results are to restore the team confidence.

Kidney who now has completed his first autumn ad head coach was surprised by the lack of belief in a team that won three Triple Crowns.

‘The lack of confidence is a thing and we must get that balance right and be reasonably critical, not being too over-the-top hysterical when we win a match,’ he said.

‘If that happens then going forward as a rugby team we can be better if everyone feeds into that. We are no different to what we were ten years ago.

‘We are a small country and we can achieve great things but we should not get too hyper if we win. And let’s not get too down when we lose.’
