Ireland's point scorer and man of the match Ronan O' Gara described the game as "far from perfect" after he scored twelve of their points with 3 penalties and a dropgoal. 

From a Munster point of view there is injury concern with Jerry Flannery and David Wallace.  Flannery came off after 13 minutes with a knee injury and David Wallace was carried off after 75 minutes, and has now been taken to hospital as a precautionary measure.
