Does the luck of the Irish take a rest when Ireland play rugby against New Zealand?

Posted at: 2014-07-08 
99% of the time any luck a team has disappears when they play rugby against New Zealand.

I was really torn. I really wanted a perfect season for us but also the Irish haven't beaten All Blacks ever and I wished Paul O'Connell and Brian O'Driscoll would go out being in that team to do so. NZ especially the better players looked exhausted and after a long year will be able to enjoy it in style. Good luck for the 6 nations now, played bravely!

I reckon the AB's were the lucky ones to win that game against Ireland

Where was the luck of the Irish last week when we were totally out-classed by the Aussies? Where was our luck today? We still lost! Ireland played like I've never seen before but they paid a heavy and very bitter price for their errors. Whoever scores most points deserves to win.
